Oxford United will welcome Swansea City to Kassam Stadium in the EFL Championship on Monday. The hosts will be looking to build on their brilliant performance in the previous match, while the visitors want to avoid another back-to-back defeat.

Oxford United vs Swansea City Preview

Oxford United returned to winning ways on Friday at home when they defeated Southampton 2-1. It was the hosts’ first win in five matches, following one draw and three defeats. The win helped Oxford United climb out of the relegation zone to 21st place on 22 points, but they are far from safety.

The U's are tied on points with 22nd-placed Portsmouth, who sit in the drop zone with one match in hand. If they win that game, they could swap places with Oxford United. The hosts have every reason to fight for maximum points against Swansea City, who are equally relegation threatened.

Swansea City succumbed to a 1-0 defeat against Coventry at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Friday. It was their second setback in five matches. The visitors could have leapt to midtable in the event of a win against Coventry. However, they remain stuck in the 20th spot on 26 points – two places above the red zone.

The Swans were relegated from the Premier League in 2017-18 and have been unable to launch a return to the top flight since then. Last season, they finished 11th out of 24 teams in the championship and are not on track to achieve an improved campaign. Swansea City prevailed 2-1 in their last visit to Oxford United.
