Oxford United vs Manchester City
Oxford Utd is in a collapsed condition ahead of the duel against Man City. They met in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup which was broadcast, live from Kassam Stadium. The host is predicted to lose in this match.
The prediction is quite based because they have never won in the last three matches, namely against Exeter (0-0) in the Johnstones Paint Trophy, Shrewsbury (0-0), and MK Dons (1-0) in League 1. Meanwhile, the charts which contrasts with Man City with wins over Dinamo Zagreb (1-4) in the Champions League and Arsenal (0-3) in Week 17 of the EPL.
This condition will be used by Pep Guardiola to implement a rotation system, including the downgrading of Bernardo Silva and Riyad Mahrez, who were reserved for the Gunners last weekend. Oleksandr Zinchenko is also likely to play after being absent since September, while young players like Tommy Doyle and Taylor Harwood-Bellis are also still waiting for the chance to show off.
The need to save key players is even greater because this weekend they will face Leicester City in Week 18 of the EPL. The Citizen has performed at Kassam last season with a score of 0-3 in the same event, in the third round. This fact certainly makes them more confident.
Our Prediction: Over 3.5
Odds: 1.64
