Team News, Form and Prediction
The U’s have lost against Portsmouth, Hull and Birmingham so far in the league and this game against the Sky Blues is the final fixture before the international break.
Coventry sit third in the Championship with two wins and a draw from their opening three league games. Despite losing 2-1 at Millwall in the cup on Tuesday night, Frank Lampard’s side have scored 12 goals in their last two league games with wins over QPR and Derby.
Brodie Spencer and Jack Currie are doubts for the game after picking up knocks against the Seagulls. However, there were debuts for summer signings Luke Harris and Nik Prelec on Wednesday night.
Coventry are without Ben Sheaf, Tatsuhiro Sakamoto and Joel Latibeaudiere for the trip, while Oliver Dovin and Josh Eccles are doubts.
The Sky Blues did the double over Oxford last season, winning both games 3-2, and also knocked the U’s out of the cup with another narrow win. In fact, the visitors have lost just one of the last seven meetings against Oxford.
Predicted line-up: Jamie Cumming, Hidde ter Avest, Michal Helik, Sam Long, Greg Leigh, Cameron Brannagan, Brian De Keersmaecker, Stan Mills, Tyler Goodrham, Przemyslaw Placheta, Will Lankshear.
Prediction: Oxford United 1-2 Coventry City
