2pts Both Teams to Score in Woking v Oxford United at 4/5 (General)
Woking v Oxford United
- Kick-off: Wednesday, 19:45 GMT
- Woking 16/5 | Draw 5/2 | Oxford United 3/4
Oxford United make the short trip to Surrey as they take on National League outfit Woking in this FA Cup replay. The hosts are firmly in the playoff picture in the league and whilst their focus will be on finishing there and competing for a spot in League Two next season, a run in this competition would be a huge positive.
The Cards have been in excellent goal scoring form at The Laithwaite Community Stadium this term and have scored twice or more in nine of their seven league outings at this venue. Combine that with the fact that visitors Oxford United are yet to keep a clean sheet on the road in the league this season and it means that the hosts should be confident of at least creating chances to score.
The U’s sit mid-table in League One but are just five points adrift of the playoff places. They have also been scoring with some regularity away from home having got on the scoresheet in six of nine such matches.
BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE has landed in five of the visitors' six most recent away games and this fixture presents a potential banana skin for Karl Robinson’s side.
The majority of bookmakers have both teams hitting the back of the net priced up at 8/11. As such, the 4/5 on the very same selection makes plenty of appeal.
