Bristol City vs Oxford United

Location of the game: Ashton Gate, Bristol, England.

Date & Time: Wednesday, August 9. 2:45 PM EST.

How to watch: SkySports

The Robins could be a dark horse in the race for promotion to the Premier League this season. They have an experienced manager in Nigel Pearson and a strong roster of players.

City’s Championship season started with a draw last weekend. The Robins were just four minutes away from a win against Preston North End after Sam Bell’s 47th-minute opener.

However, Will Keane scored for North End with just four minutes left on the clock at Ashton Gate. Nevertheless, a point is not a bad way to start the season.

The league will always be the priority for Bristol City this term, but can they have a decent run in the cup along the way?

Pearson’s troops will back themselves to see off lower-league opposition in round one. Stay tuned for the best soccer picks today.

Oxford United has been knocking on the promotion door in League One for several years, but the U’s have come up short.

They had a bad season last time around, narrowly avoiding relegation to EFL League Two. They finished in 19th place with just 47 points to their name.

Liam Manning’s Oxford started this campaign with a loss at Cambridge United last Saturday. First-half goals from Jack Lankester and Gassan Ahadme did the damage.  

Manning and his boys will want to respond to last weekend’s league loss with a positive result in the cup on Wednesday. However, this will be a tricky test against a solid Championship side. The latest Bristol City vs Oxford United odds and top soccer picks are coming up.

This will be the first meeting between Bristol City and Oxford United since they locked horns in the same competition nine years ago.

The Yellows caused an upset in Bristol in that tie, running out 2-1 winners at Ashton Gate. Danny Hylton hit the winner three minutes from time. United also won the previous meeting back in 2002.

Twenty-three years have passed since Bristol City’s last victory in this fixture, but the Championship team should come out on top on Wednesday.

• There is good value in soccer odds of +275 for the home side to win and both teams to score.

• Also, have a wager on the Bristol City win and over 2.5 goals, which is nicely priced at +175.
