- Competition: England - Championship
- Date: Wednesday, 12th, March 2025
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
- Venue: MKM Stadium (Hull)
Separated by just two points near the relegation zone, Hull City and Oxford United will face off at MKM Stadium on Wednesday in Championship’s matchweek 37.
Joao Pedro Galvao gave his side an early lead with a spectacular strike, but his joy was short-lived as he received a red card shortly after, a setback that proved decisive as Hull City had to accept a share of the spoils in a 1-1 stalemate against Bristol City, leaving them five points clear of the dreaded dotted line.
Despite seeing their cushion above the relegation zone shrink to seven points, Oxford United should take encouragement from their gritty defensive resilience shown over the weekend when they admirably frustrated playoff hopefuls Norwich City, battling to a well-earned 1-1 stalemate at Carrow Road.
Hull City vs Oxford United Betting Tips : HULL CITY TO WIN
The reverse fixture in November saw The U's claim a narrow 1-0 victory, but this time, Hull City will be hoping to exact revenge and leapfrog them in the league standings, as they enter matchweek 37 just two points worse off Oxford. In recent weeks, the Tigers have shown significant improvement in their form, not only pulling themselves out of the relegation zone but also building a solid five-point cushion above the bottom three, thanks to a commendable eight-point haul from their last five second-tier games. Hull City's ascent seems poised for another step forward with Oxford United, who are in poor form, making the trip to MKM Stadium, where, despite a good display against Norwich, their weekend draw stretched their winless streak in the Championship to eight matches, with half of those ending in losses. Away results paint an even bleaker picture for the U’s, as they’ve only managed to secure victory in one of their 20 travels this season, and they’ve been shut out in five of their last six away matches. Given Oxford's turmoil on away grounds this season, we are confident that Hull City seize this golden moment to collect all three points and take a major step towards staying in the Championship.

Oxford United team news
Compared to Wednesday’s hosts, Oxford United have fewer injury concerns, with Greg Leigh and Tom Bradshaw confirmed out, and left-back Joe Bennett doubtful.
After recovering from an unspecified injury, young defender Ben Nelson has returned to full training, but he’s likely to settle for a spot on the bench for now.
