Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

There's 75% chance of Oxford Utd and M'Boro 3 goals or less combined during this Championship clash according to our predictive algorithm and, in the absense of a strong favourite in the WDW market, we think that's where the smart money should go. Calculations are made based on 20-game form, historical head-to-head (H2H) statistics and the view of the betting market, and you can get it at top odds of 1.29.
