Oxford United vs Leeds Predictions

• Leeds have lost two of their last 26 matches
• Oxford have scored in 16 of their last 17 home matches
• Oxford have won just three of their last 14 games

Leeds have a brilliant opportunity

Leeds have kept their heads in the heat of battle as they strive for Championship promotion and Daniel Farke’s side should enhance their chances by claiming a victory in their penultimate away game of the season when they travel to Oxford United on Friday.

With Sheffield United losing their last three games, Leeds have a brilliant opportunity to avoid the playoff heartache they suffered last season and they should be relied upon to complete the job at the Kassam Stadium.

The Yorkshire outfit already have nine away victories to their name this season and while there could be a few nerves they should hold on for three points even if they concede.

Oxford unlikely to sit back

With a six-point gap between them and the drop zone, Oxford should be confident enough to believe they can stay up and it would not be a surprise if they broke through the leader’s defence.

Gary Rowett’s side have found the net in all but one of their last 17 outings at the Kassam and while they fell to a 3-1 defeat to QPR in their last home match, they should have taken confidence from successive home wins over Sheffield United and Watford.

That victory over the Blades should ensure Leeds are not complacent, but they can expect to do some defending, so the best bet could be to back them ot win while conceding, with a 3-1 away win of potential interest for those looking for a correct-score bet.
