• Oxford are yet to pick up a point this season

• Coventry thrashed QPR 7-1 in their last Championship outing

• Recommended bet: Haji Wright anytime goalscorer

There is Championship action at the Kassam Stadium to take in on Saturday when struggling Oxford, kept off the bottom of the table by just goal difference, host in-form Coventry.

Frank Lampard's visitors have been rampant in front of goal, scoring a league-high 12 goals from three matches, and that extra quality in the final third could see them run out as comfortable winners against the U's.

Team news

Oxford are set to be without defender Ciaron Brown and striker Ole Romeny due to injury, but there were a number of players who returned to action in the Carabao Cup defeat to Brighton.

Nik Prelec, the Slovenian forward on loan from Cagliari, came off the bench to make his debut, while attacking midfielder Luke Harris also made a second-half cameo.

Coventry are missing Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, Ben Sheaf, Joel Latibeaudiere and Oliver Dovin due to injury, while Josh Eccles is lacking match fitness and is a doubt.

The stats

Oxford are one of two teams yet to pick up a point in the Championship this season.

The U's have failed to score in two of their three home matches this term, with the only goal coming in the 1-0 League Cup victory over Colchester in round one.

Coventry are the highest scorers in the division with 12 goals, seven of which came in the 7-1 thrashing of QPR in their last league outing.

The Sky Blues beat Derby 5-3 in their sole away fixture in the Championship this season.

Haji Wright has scored four goals in his last three appearances for Coventry.

Prediction

The odds are firmly stacked against Oxford, who were pummelled by Brighton in the cup on Wednesday to make it four defeats from five games in the 2025-26 campaign.

Gary Rowett's side have a big job to avoid relegation and they are unlikely to get any change out of a Coventry team looking every bit a promotion contender this season.

Lampard has got the Sky Blues firing on all cylinders and given the visitors are such heavy favourites to win, the better play is to side with USA international Wright to get on the scoresheet.

The 27-year-old came off the bench to score in Tuesday's cup defeat to Millwall, making it four goals in his last three matches, and he should be presented with a few chances to find the back of the net at the Kassam Stadium.
