Bitesize Prediction: Oxford United vs Norwich City – 10/02/26

Competition: Championship

Market: Both teams to score – No

Odds: 12/11 @ Pribet

Looking to extend on their sensational Championship flurry, Norwich will travel to the Kassam Stadium when they meet Oxford on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Oxford might have sprung an upset last season as they clung to their Championship status, Matt Bloomfield’s men have an almighty challenge on their hands this time around. Despite snatching a gritty 0-0 stalemate away at title leaders Coventry, the Yellows are still stuck in the drop zone and open Tuesday’s showdown sat four points adrift of second-tier safety. Signing off January with a routine 2-0 loss at home against Birmingham, the former Luton boss has seen his squad register just a single Championship win from any of their previous eight attempts. Facing what appears to be another stern examination when they return to the Kassam Stadium, Oxford have failed to find any kind of clinical edge in the final third. In fact, Bloomfield’s camp have recorded just a sole Championship strike in almost 300 minutes of action. It should also be highlighted, the relegation scrappers have drawn a blank in four of their previous six second-tier showdowns.

As for the visitors, while Norwich might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign in the midst of a public nightmare, the Canaries have come roaring back in a remarkable fashion on either side of getting the New Year underway. Making an immediate return to winning ways over the weekend as they clinched a 2-0 victory at home against Blackburn, Philippe Clement’s side are enjoying a real purple patch and they have skyrocketed themselves out of the drop zone. Despite signing off January with a close-fought 1-0 loss away at title contenders Middlesbrough, the former Rangers boss has seen his resurgent squad win each of their other four appearances across all competitions. Laying down a major marker on January 20th as they stormed their way to a thumping 5-0 victory away at West Brom, Norwich have also suffered just a sole Championship defeat away from Carrow Road since back on December 6th and they open Tuesday’s showdown pencilled in as a standout contender.
