Burnley vs Oxford United Prediction

The Clarets have drawn four of their seven games in 2025 across all competitions, with five producing under 2.5 goals. While they have kept eight clean sheets in their last 10 Championship home games, they have also failed to score in six games during that period. They have lost just one of their eight home games in this fixture.

Jordan Beyer and Aaron Ramsey are long-term absentees while captain Josh Brownhill is a doubt. Nathan Redmond is also unlikely to be a part of the squad for this match.

The U's have seen an upturn in form and have lost just one of their last 10 games in all competitions while recording five wins. They are unbeaten in their four Championship away games this year, playing to three consecutive draws. Nonetheless, eight of their 11 losses in the league this season have been registered on their travels, which is a cause for concern.

Elliott Moore and Ben Nelson are sidelined with injuries while Max Woltman is also not an option for the trip to Turf Moor.

Considering the recent goalscoring form of the two teams, this should be a low-scoring affair and the hosts are expected to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Burnley 1-0 Oxford United
