Oxford Utd - Portsmouth  Prediction, Picks and Taips  



   
On Monday evening, the third-highest English division decides which two teams will play the third and last promoted to the championship in the final on July 13th. At the moment there are many indications that the Wycome Wanderers will make the leap to the final after their 4-1 win over Fleetwood Town. In the second encounter between Oxford and Portsmouth, however, everything is still open.

In the first leg, the fourth and fifth place finisher of the regular season separated with a 1-1 draw. Since the away goals rule is not used in the playoffs on the island, it will start again from zero on Monday. However, since the Yellows have the home advantage on their side this time, the odds of the best bookmakers narrowly favor the hosts before the return leg between Oxford and Portsmouth.

This assessment of the betting providers coincides primarily with the statistics that attest the U’s a very good home record. Even more important with regard to a potential Oxford against Portsmouth forecast, however, is the fact that the former first division side from the south coast of England had problems throughout the season trying to get the performance to the foreign places.

In this respect, it might be advisable to play a tip between Oxford and Portsmouth that Karl Robinson's team will play the easy favorite role and fix the move into the playoff final. 




 
 



Oxford United is surely one of the most positive surprises in the League One season. After places 16 and 12 in the past two seasons, it was not necessarily to be assumed that the Yellows would actually play for promotion in the current season.

Thanks to 17 wins in 35 games (nine draws, nine bankruptcies) and the league's second-best offensive (61 goals), the former League Cup winner, who has since relegated to the National Conference, England's fifth-highest division, is allowed to relegate who dream financially and athletically very lucrative championship. The playoff first leg last Friday in Portsmouth did not let this dream bubble burst, because the U’s fought an honorable 1-1 draw at the former Premier League club.
 
In the second leg on Monday evening, coach Karl Robinson's team has everything in their own hands at home. The yellow-blue are supported by the decent home record (11/3/3) and the fact that they were last lost in the league in mid-February. Especially before the compulsory break, the fourth of the main round played with five wins in five games in a real frenzy.

The intact self-confidence in connection with the hardly imagined chance to advance to the second division and the home strength are all indications for us to aim for a tip between the Oxford and Portsmouth on the rise of the home side. Especially the defensive, which only allowed 13 goals in 17 home games, could become an absolute X-factor against a Pompey attack that was often harmless in the past.

After the good performance and the equally satisfactory result, coach Robinson will probably not make any changes in his starting line-up. With the exception of Nathan Holland, all players are ready and ready to reach the final in Wembley.




 
 
 

 
 Between 2003 and 2010, Portsmouth spent a total of seven consecutive seasons in the English Premier League. What followed was an incomparable crash, which was also due to financial complications. Pompey fell back to 16th place in League Two (fourth division) before slowly starting to make up ground in the recent past.

The club from the south coast reached the playoffs last year, but drew 0-1 after losing to Sunderland. In the first leg last Friday, Kenny Jackett's charges missed out on a better starting position. After 90 minutes it was 1-1, so the blue-whites have been waiting for a win for seven playoff games.
 

The curse derived from this is only one of two significant reasons that make a prediction of the guest seem unlikely before the return leg between Oxford and Portsmouth. The other argument is the weak balance sheet abroad.

The jacket eleven only ranked eleventh in the away table and celebrated only five wins in 17 games. Over half of all guest appearances (nine) were lost. The meager 17 goals scored are also a disappointing value, which is even topped by the fact that Pompey had three goals in a row without success in opposing stadiums before the break.
