Oxford United will host Hull City at the Kassam Stadium on Friday in another round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. The home side currently sit second-from-bottom in the league table with 39 points, but beat the drop last term by just four points and will recognize they still have ample time to salvage their season.
Oxford looked to have finally found their footing under new head coach Matt Bloomfield after a positive run of results at the start of March. However, they suffered a fresh setback when they locked horns with resurgent Southampton before the international break, losing 2-0 at St. Mary’s Stadium after conceding twice in the opening 15 minutes.
Thanks for the submission!
Despite their recent inconsistencies, Hull City remain one of the most improved sides in the Championship this season. They sit fifth in the table with 66 points and are pushing for their first promotion playoff appearance in a decade.
Hull City headed into the international break on a positive note after beating the now-relegated Sheffield Wednesday 3-1 last time out. Goals from Matt Crooks and Kyle Joseph clinched a well-deserved comeback victory for the Tigers, who will be looking to pick up where they left off on Friday.
