Coventry City vs Oxford United top free betting tips
Our Coventry City vs Oxford United prediction is for this to be a closely fought game between two sides separated by just twenty places with Oxford United occupying a playoff spot in League One while Coventry City sits just outside of the playoff places in the Championship.
Coventry City are in good form with the Championship side winning six of their previous ten matches, drawing three times and losing once while Oxford has lost three of their previous ten, drawing twice and winning the remaining five matches. Both teams are good sides in their respective leagues and we can see this being an exciting clash.
Total goals prediction: Over 2.5 Goals
All of Oxford's previous five matches have seen 2.5 goals or more scored with the O's being very good in front of goal but also very suspect when defending. Coventry on the other hand, has seen three of their previous five matches end with 2.5 goals or more.
Both teams to score prediction: Yes
Coventry City have scored in all of their previous ten matches but has kept no clean sheets in their previous two matches, conceding three times. Oxford has seen both teams find the back of the net in five of their previous six matches, keeping just one clean sheet in a 3-0 victory against Burton Albion.
Correct score prediction: 2-1 to Coventry City
For our final prediction, we have gone with Coventry to just about win this match to progress to the next round of the FA Cup. Oxford have lost five of their thirteen away league matches this term, conceding at a rate of pretty much 1.5 goals per match while Coventry is scoring around 1.5 home goals per match.

This Coventry fan expects his side to field a strong side for this match against Oxford
Should be able to afford to field a decent team for this. A whole week between this and the Leicester game so fatigue shouldn't be an issue.

Credit to Des, so many out injured still, having to switch formation, and got the job done today, a great response to the Derby defeat, still in the mix!
