After two years in League One, Derby returned to the Championship, but it seems there is a big possibility they could move to the lower level again. After 31 rounds, Derby collected only 28 points, so they are one point behind safety. The club from Pride Park was in terrible form, with eight defeats in a row, until they, in the last match, played 1-1 on the road against Norwich. That was the best Derby game in a while, and maybe that performance will restore some confidence at the Pride Park.
Oxford United played in League One last season, too, but Gary Rowett's team has a much bigger chance of survival in the second level of English football, given that they are solid nine points above the drop zone. Oxford United were in a surprising five games without a defeat run until Saturday, when they lost 1-0 on the road against Burnley. The home side finished with an xG of 1.52, while the guests had only 0.26, so Oxford United deservedly stayed empty-handed.
Derby vs Oxford United pick: Under 2.5 goals
Both teams are poor in the attack. Derby scored three goals in the last seven matches, while Oxford United scored six goals in the previous six games. We shouldn't expect more than two goals on Tuesday at Pride Park.

Derby team news
A draw against Norwich was the first for Matt Hamshaw as Derby's caretaker manager. In the interview after the game, the head coach was proud of snatching a point. We should expect Hamshaw to lead Derby against Oxford United, too.
Derby have problems with missing players. Curtis Nelson, Kane Wilson, Dajaune Brown, and Callum Elder are injured and will not play in the upcoming tie, while Corey Blackett-Taylor is questionable.

Oxford United team news
Oxford United have some problems with injuries, too. They will be without Elliott Moore, Benjamin Nelson, and Max Woltman at Pride Park. The head coach, Gary Rowett, surprisingly rotated part of the squad for the previous, but we should see the best possible eleven on Tuesday at Pride Park.
