 Oxford |
|  Derby |
Betting suggestion:
The most likely scenario for this clash is that both teams will find the net at least once. While a balanced contest is expected, both sides are known for producing open, attacking games where chances come thick and fast. Notably, the “Both Teams to Score – Yes” market has paid out in four of the last five meetings between the two clubs, as well as in Derby’s last three fixtures. As such, a lively encounter is anticipated, with both goalkeepers likely to be kept busy throughout.

Derby come into this fixture on the back of a 1–1 home draw against Southampton. Unlike their opponents this round, the visitors are expected to set up in a traditional 4-3-3 formation, with Andreas Weimann, Patrick Agyemang and Bobby Clark forming the attacking trio. Playing away from home, Derby are likely to adopt a more cautious approach, aiming to stay compact and avoid leaving gaps at the back. Manager John Eustace is not expected to have Corey Blackett-Taylor, Liam Thompson, Owen Beck, Curtis Nelson or Sondre Langas available, as all remain sidelined through injury.
