Wrexham vs Oxford Prediction: Goals to flow at the Racecourse

Midweek Championship action continues to come thick and fast, with Wrexham set to welcome Oxford United to the Racecourse Stadium on Wednesday evening (KO: 20:00, live on Sky Sports+). Just a point splits the pair after 10 games, with Wrexham just above their visitors despite a run of one win in six Championship games.

Both sides will view this as a chance to get closer to mid-table than the drop-zone. Read on for my Wrexham vs Oxford predictions, supported by the latest team news, stats and match odds.

Team News

Home boss Phil Parkinson is set to remain without the likes of Jay Rodriguez, Andy Cannon, Harry Ashfield and Danny Ward, with George Thomason a doubt after missing the weekend defeat to Stoke.

Liberato Cacace and Nathan Broadhead came off the bench in that loss in the Potteries and could be pushing for starts.

Football Odds

The visitors welcomed back Ciaran Brown as they beat Derby at the weekend after a six-month absence, though Matt Philips (thigh) is still sidelined.

Nik Prelec, who arrived on loan from Cagliari in the summer, has just one Championship goal but is doing enough to retain his starting jersey.

Wrexham vs Oxford Odds

Wrexham are 1/1 favourites to finally get a first home win of the season at the sixth attempt. Oxford, boosted by their weekend win, are 11/4 to claim the spoils, while the draw is 12/5.

Over 2.5 goals is marked at 1/1 and both teams to score is 4/5, while Wrexham's Kieffer Moore is 9/2 to score the opening goal.

Over 3.5 goals @ 5/2

Goals could be the best play at the Racecourse Stadium. Oxford have been entertaining on the road, with five of their last seven Championship games away from home seeing both teams find the net.

Wrexham's return to the second tier has also brought entertainment, with four of their 10 league matches this season having produced over 3.5 goals already.

Saturday's blank at Stoke was the first time Parkinson's side have failed to score.

Defensively, the step up in quality this season is catching them out. They've leaked 10 goals in five games at home, with only basement dwellers Sheffield Wednesday worse off with 11 concessions.

Booking points Under 37.5 @ 5/6

Goals may flow, but don't expect the cards to follow suit, as these sides are amongst the Championship's best behaved so far.

Wrexham top the fair play standings with a mere 13 bookings in 10 games, while Oxford aren't far behind with a third-lowest card-count of 15 this far.

They'd have topped the pile bar picking up a quartet of cards in Saturday's win over Derby. Wrexham have gone two Championship games without a caution, with their games against Birmingham and Stoke reaching the 83^rd and 87^th minutes' respectively before a yellow card was flashed.
