Norwich vs Oxford United Predictions

• Oxford United are winless in seven matches, failing to score in five of those.
• The Us have lost 2-0 in two of their last three Championship games.
• Norwich have only lost three Championship home games this season.

Canaries can put the pressure on play-off rivals

Despite a dip in form, Norwich are still only four points outside the Championship play-off positions and they may be able to close that gap on Friday when they face a struggling Oxford United side.

The visitors’ 3-2 defeat at home to Coventry last time out extended their winless streak to seven matches and leaves them 18th in the second-tier table. They have failed to score in five of these seven games and their last goal on the road came almost two months ago against the relegation-threatened Plymouth.

Norwich beat Stoke 4-2 in their last outing at Carrow Road and, with them losing just three times here all season, they look a good bet for all three points on Friday.

The Canaries aren’t known for their clean sheets, but just three goals across seven games and four successive away-day blanks suggest that the Us may struggle to get on the scoresheet, so a third 2-0 loss in four games is recommended as a correct score punt.
