Bristol City vs Oxford United Match Analysis & Prediction
21/09/2024 5:00 pm
Bristol City play host to Oxford United at Ashton Gate Stadium on Saturday looking for the win that could see them move into the top half of the Championship table.
When Liam Manning was appointed as Bristol City head coach in November, he was regarded as a progressive appointment in terms of style of play.
However, with a 31% win-ratio and on the back of two heavy defeat at Derby County and Blackburn Rovers, he has entered the territory where he is fighting for his job.
Bristol City’s only victory in any competition during 2024-25 is by a 4-3 scoreline against Millwall, the Robins having now conceded three times in three of their last four matches.
Five halves of football have also come and gone without finding the back of the net, the Robins fortunate to still be as high as 17th position in the table.
The solitary positive is that they did lose at Ahston Gate Stadium in their opening two matches, something Manning will be desperate to maintain this weekend.
Oxford United also enter this contest with an unbeaten record, impressively winning all four of their matches at the Kassam Stadium across all competitions.
Last time out, Des Buckingham’s side posted a 1-0 victory over Stoke City that eventually led to the Potters making the decision to sack Steven Schumacher.
On the flip side, Oxford have lost each of their three matches away from home, although two of them being at Coventry and all three by one-goal margins.
Bristol City vs. Oxford United Head to head

Manning will inevitably make alterations to his Bristol City squad, Sinclaire Armstrong in line to be recalled down the centre of the attack.
Haydon Roberts may be considered for a start at left-back, but Yu Hirakawa could have to wait for his first opportunity in the final third.
