Oxford United – Port Vale preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Oxford United vs Port Vale lineups.
Oxford United
Oxford tops the League One table after achieving 4 consecutive wins. Last weekend cruised to an easy home win vs Charlton. Goodrham was the star of the show with his brace.
The U’s should feel confident as last season they collected 4 points from the 2 league games vs Port Vale and kept clean sheets in both those matches.
Have some injury issues but the squad is big and it seems the main starters are all fit and available.
Predicted Lineup:
Beadle (GK), Stevens, Moore, Negru, Brown, McGuane, Brannagan, Goodrham, Rodrigues, Bodin & Harris
Port Vale
Despite rotating heavily Port Vale progressed through to the next round in the League Cup on Tuesday after a 2-0 win vs lower-level Crewe. Rested most regulars in that match.
The Valiants opened their season with a 0-7 away loss vs Barnsley. They have found much better results since and are now unbeaten in 5. Still, Port Vale remain timid on the road where they have lost 5 of their last 7 league games.
The main centre-back Dan Jones is missing sick. There is better news for striker Harrison and playmaker Grant. Both hope to overcome knocks on time.
Predicted Lineup:
Ripley (GK), Cass, Smith, Iacovitti, Clark, Ojo, Arblaster, Massey, Plant, Chislett & Wilson
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: Tyler Goodrham
Oxford’s winger Tyler Goodrham was the Player of the Match in 2 of the last 3 rounds. He scored 2 goals last weekend and right now he is brimming with confidence. We can see him heavily involved in all forward moves again this time around.
