Sheffield Wednesday vs Oxford United Prediction and Betting Tips

Sheffield Wednesday will trade tackles with Oxford United in an EFL Championship round 12 clash on Saturday (October 25th). The game will be played at Hillsborough.

The hosts will be looking to bounce back from the 1-0 defeat they suffered against Middlesbrough at the same ground in midweek. Morgan Whittaker gave the Boro the lead in the sixth minute, and his goal settled the contest.

Oxford United, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 defeat away to Wrexham. Nathan Broadhead's 14th-minute strike broke the deadlock, and the hosts held on to claim maximum points despite Callum Doyle's dismissal midway through the second half.

The loss left the Yellows in 20th place in the standings, having garnered nine points from 11 games. Wednesday are bottom of the standings with just six points to their name, making this fixture a relegation six-pointer.
