Plymouth Argyle vs Oxford United Prediction and Betting Tips | January 14th 2025

Plymouth Argyle will face Oxford United at the Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have endured a near-disastrous campaign and find themselves rock-bottom in the league standings with just 20 points prompting the dismissal of head coach Wayne Rooney.

They held on for a goalless draw away at Stoke City in their last league outing before picking up a shock 1-0 victory over Premier League side Brentford in the FA Cup on Saturday, with Morgan Whittaker scoring a brilliant winner late in the game. Miron Muslic has been appointed as Plymouth boss and will be targeting a winning start to life in southwestern England.

Oxford United, meanwhile, have enjoyed a brilliant start to life under new boss Gary Rowett and are back on the survival route. They played out a 1-1 draw against Preston North End in their last league outing, but suffered a deflating 3-1 defeat to Exeter City in the cup a week later.

The visitors sit 17th in the table with 28 points and will be looking to return to league action on a positive note.

Plymouth Argyle vs Oxford United Prediction

Plymouth picked up a huge win last time out, ending a wretched 11-game winless run in the process. They have lost just one of their last nine home matches and will be hopeful of a positive result this week.

Oxford have picked up three wins and a draw in their last four league outings after going winless in their previous seven in the competition. They have, however, been woeful on the road all season and could lose here.

Prediction: Plymouth Argyle 1-0 Oxford United
