West Bromwich Albion vs Oxford United Prediction and Betting Tips | November 8th 2025

West Bromwich Albion will host Oxford United at The Hawthorns on Saturday in the 15th round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. Both teams have struggled to get consistent results for much of the season and will be hoping to make improvements just before the international break.

West Brom’s hopes of sharing the points away at Charlton Athletic on Tuesday were shattered by Sonny Carrey’s deflected strike from 30 yards out in the 95th minute as the game ended 1-0 in favor of the newly-promoted side. The Baggies, who only narrowly missed out on playoff qualification last season and began this season with three wins and a draw from their opening four games, have since picked up only two wins from their last 10 and will be keen to get a result this weekend to avoid dropping further down in the standings.

Oxford United are six places and five points behind this weekend's hosts after managing just two wins in their last five outings and are only four points clear of the drop zone with three wins from 14 games. The visitors suffered a deflating 3-0 home defeat at the hands of second-placed Stoke City last time out but will remain optimistic of getting something from Saturday's game against a fellow struggling side.
