18th Feb 2017 | FA Cup
U's For Tee
Oxford arrive as the FA Cup's top scorers while their hosts rank last for goals in the top flight.
If you’re looking for a potential FA Cup upset then the Riverside Stadium could be the venue of choice where the Premier League side remain hamstrung by a lack of goals.
Aitor Karanka has risked the ire of the Boro fans a few times in the last year and a run of two goals in six top flight games since the turn of the year won’t have improved morale on Teesside. Throw in an ‘easy’ game at home to League One opponents and the fans could get restless pretty quickly if the attacking problems persist.
Oxford smashed Newcastle 3-0 in the last round but they are actually better on the road lately. They could make a mockery of best odds of 6/1 to win with Skybet.
The U’s have won five of their last six away games in all competitions and will travel without fear.
