[Football- England 'Championship'] 16.8/ 21:00 Coventry City- Oxford United

Coventry City and Oxford United will face off after contrasting starts to the new Championship season. Oxford United had a strong League One campaign last season and earned promotion to the Championship. They now face a tough challenge as they visit Coventry, who finished ninth in the Championship last season.

Considering recent games and last season's stats, Coventry have won their last two matches against Oxford United. At home, Coventry secured 7 wins in their last 14 matches, scoring 24 goals in those victories. In contrast, Oxford United have lost 2 of their last 5 away games and failed to score in both defeats.

As for the visitors, Oxford United are exceeding expectations this season. While they might have been hopeful against Norwich City, their 2-0 win was a strong statement that they aim to do more than just participate in the Championship. Despite the EFL Cup being less of a priority, their 2-0 victory over Peterborough United has maintained their momentum heading into this match.

Oxford is riding high on confidence and is expected to put in another strong performance. However, it's worth noting that all of Oxford's wins so far have been at home, and they haven't been tested on the road yet. Despite this, they will likely challenge Coventry, who has good goalscoring form when it comes to home games.

With both teams capable of finding the net, this match is likely to see a couple of goals. My pick is Over 2.5 goals, especially since this has been covered in their last two games and three out of the last five (excluding friendlies).
