Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

Based on our analysis, we are confident that the best bet is to go 'no' on the Both Teams to Score market.

The matchup figures to be a tight, defensive one, with both teams desperate not to get caught out. That's why we see only one or none of the teams finding the back of the net in this encounter, which are the conditions needed to win the bet.

Our prediction is: over 9.5 corners

Our top tip for Derby County vs Oxford United is to take advantage of the corners market, particularly taking the over on 9.5 corners. There is good value to be had in that bet, which is priced at 1.38.

Both teams need to combine for at least 10 corners to win the bet, which may seem like a lot. But based on their statistical profile for this season, we expect them to easily clear that mark in their upcoming matchup.
