Oxford v Swansea Betting Tips, Predictions and Preview

Oxford United v Swansea City betting tips and predictions for the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon where there is a potential Cupset on the cards.

 

Swansea have given caretaker manager Alan Curtis until the end of the season to maintain the Swans’ Premier League status, but his first match since being handed the job permanently will be to avoid a potentially embarrassing slip up against Oxford United in the FA Cup.

 

Oxford v Swansea Predictions

 

Oxford have been performing well in League Two and currently occupy third place. The U’s are on a three-game unbeaten run, also winning four of the last seven, and they will take this confidence into their clash at the Kassam stadium on Sunday.

 

Swansea, by contrast, have really struggled this season. So much so that they couldn’t even manage their customary win over an injury plagued and under-pressure Man United team. They are currently just above the drop zone, separated by just two points from fellow strugglers Newcastle.

 

Alan Curtis will be well aware that Swansea have just one win in their last ten in the League, and this kind of mentality may prove a burden when faced with the unenviable prospect of facing Oxford at home in the notoriously feisty and unpredictable FA Cup.

 

Whilst also facing the prospect of a relegation battle, Swansea will inevitably make big changes to their team and throw in some youngsters who may have a point to prove. But will they have the quality to see of the challenge of a confident Oxford team?

 

Oxford have scored in their last 12 home games, and given Swansea’s lack of defensive resolve, coupled with the unpredictability of the FA Cup and the U’s home advantage, I reckon we can expect to see Oxford grabbing at least one goal in Sunday’s 12:00 kick off.

 

My first Oxford v Swansea predictions is for both teams to score. Odds of 13/15 can be found with 10Bet.

Oxford would be absolutely delighted if they were able to take the match to a replay, and this is exactly what I think will happen. The bookies are offering Evens for a Swansea win, and when you understand that there are three leagues separating the two teams, it’s obvious that the bookmakers are wary about Swansea’s chances of winning the game.

 

My second betting tip for Oxford v Swansea is for the game to finish as a draw. Odds of 11/4 can be found with Betfred.

Oxford have managed six 1-1 draws at home in their last 20 outings at the Kassam, and this is exactly the scoreline that I expect to see on Sunday. Swansea aren’t scoring freely, and I think they will struggle to break down a confident Oxford defence. One goal apiece seems the most likely outcome.

 

My third betting tip for Oxford v Swansea in Sunday’s FA Cup clash is for the correct score to be 1-1. Odds of 13/2 can be found with Bet Victor.
