Team News

Oxford
Portsmouth
  • Gary Rowett could make one change to the side that faced Derby in midweek with Ruben Rodrigues replacing Alex Matos.
  • January signing Tom Bradshaw has suffered an MCL injury and faces a number of weeks on the sidelines.
  • After just four games back in the squad, centre-back Conor Shaughnessy has suffered a hamstring injury.
  • Expect Hayden Matthews to replace him on Saturday, while Terry Devlin and Freddie Potts could also be recalled.

Prediction

  • Oxford United defended well against a managerless Derby side on Tuesday night, grinding out a goalless draw against one of their relegation rivals.
  • Progress has slowed under Gary Rowett with the U's now winless in four league games, although their home form remains impressive with 13 points taken from their last five outings at the Kassam Stadium.
  • Early goals from Colby Bishop and Conor Shaughnessy earned Portsmouth a priceless home victory against relegation rivals Cardiff on Tuesday night.
  • That result ended a four-match winless streak, but Pompey have still won just one of their 16 away league games this season and have lost seven in a row away from Fratton Park.
