Blackburn Rovers vs Oxford United Prediction and Betting Tips | December 9th 2025

Blackburn Rovers will host Oxford United at Ewood Park on Saturday in the 20th round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. Both sides have struggled for most of this season and will hope to get results to move them clear of the drop zone.

Blackburn were 1-0 up against bottom-placed Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday before the game got suspended early in the second half due to a waterlogged pitch, leaving the hosts with six wins from 18 league outings this campaign. The Riversiders, who featured in back-to-back 1-1 draws against Wrexham and Ipswich Town preceding the weekend's outing, have picked up points in six of their last eight games and will be keen to carry on such solid form on Tuesday.

Oxford sit in 21st place, just a point clear of the relegation zone following their 2-0 loss to Swansea City last weekend and will be desperate to pick up points when they make the trip to Blackburn. The visitors escaped relegation last season by just four points but will need to make significant improvements in coming weeks to get results and stay up by season's end.

Blackburn Rovers vs Oxford United Prediction

The Riversiders are heavy favorites to get the win thanks to their home advantage and much better quality but will need to bring their A-game if they are to get all three points.

The Yellows will hope to come away with a point on the road this midweek but will need something really special to manage that.
