In my opinion Coventry City is the clear favorite of this game and should be able to win and get qualification into the next round of the FA Cup.

I believe there is a huge difference between both teams in terms of motivation for this game. Coventry City owner D. King said he wants a deep run in this competition this year. In those circumstances we should see a strong line up on the pitch. According to some local newspapers we wil see on the pitch the best players in the current season like Sheaf, Eccles or Van Ewijk. On the other hand Oxford coach Des Buckingham said: ‘’Our priority, and I’ve made no secret of this, is the league and making sure we’re as ready for Carlisle as we can be, so when the league resumes, we’re ready to start our second part to the season strong.’’ So probably we will see some rotation on the pitch and that should have a very bad impact on guests performance.

Coventry should be able to score more than one goal today. They scored at least two goals in last 4 league matches and it’s not a coincidence: in the last home game against Swansea they had 2.61 expected goals scored (2 scored), in the last round on the road against Middlesborough they had 2.27 expected goals scored (3 scored). They should be able to continue this streak against Oxford. Guests conceded 7 goals in the last 4 league matches. Against Derby two rounds ago they had 2.85 expected goals conceded (3 conceded), I expect similar troubles today. Oxford have serious squad problems at the back. Today they are without 3 key defenders: Long, Leigh and Negru. In addition to that important defender Thorniley is doubtful. It's a huge blow and should have a very bad impact on their performance.

Coventry should be able to score some goals in front of the home crowd and book their place in 4th round!

在我看来，考文垂是本场比赛最受欢迎的球队，他们应该能够获胜，并获得进入足总杯下一轮的资格。

我相信两支球队在这场比赛的动力方面有很大的不同。考文垂队的老板D. King说，他希望在今年的比赛中取得更大的成绩。在这种情况下，我们应该在球场上看到一个强大的阵容。根据一些当地报纸的报道，我们将在球场上看到本赛季最好的球员，比如谢夫、埃克尔斯和范埃维克。另一方面，牛津大学的主教练Des Buckingham说:“我们的首要任务是联赛，我并没有隐瞒这一点，确保我们为卡莱尔做好了准备，所以当联赛恢复时，我们已经准备好开始本赛季的第二部分。”“所以我们可能会在球场上看到一些轮换，这应该会对客人的表现产生非常糟糕的影响。”

考文垂今天应该能进不止一个球。他们在最近4场联赛中至少进了2球，这并不是巧合:在上一轮主场对阵斯旺西的比赛中，他们的预期进球为2.61球(2球)，在上一轮客场对阵米德尔斯堡的比赛中，他们的预期进球为2.27球(3球)。他们应该能够在对阵牛津的比赛中继续连胜。客队在最近4场联赛中丢了7球。两轮对阵德比时，他们预计丢2.85个球(丢了3个)，我预计今天会有类似的麻烦。牛津队在后防线上有严重的问题。今天他们缺少了三个关键后卫:朗、利和内格鲁。除了那个重要的后卫，索尼利也不确定。这是一个巨大的打击，应该会对他们的表现产生非常糟糕的影响。

考文垂应该能够在主场的观众面前进几个球，确保他们进入第4轮!
