Oxford United vs Arsenal Prediction & Pick

Oxford United may be the home squad in this match, but it enters Monday as a clear underdog. That's because it has progressed in just one of its last nine matchups against a Premier League team in FA Cup play. Meanwhile, Arsenal has earned a victory in 24 of its last 26 FA Cup third round matches.

The talent gap is simply too large here as Arsenal rosters talented scorers like Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka. It has scored a whopping 14 goals over its last six matches, while Oxford United has been held to just 8 goals in their last six matches. I'll take the Gunners in commanding fashion here.

Final Score Prediction: Oxford United: 0 | Arsenal: 3

Oxford United vs Arsenal Best Bet

I find myself leaning toward the under in this game as Oxford United may not be able to find the back of the net at all. That leaves the pressure on Arsenal to score four or more goals, which is something it has done it only once in its last nine matches. The Gunners may take their foot off the pedal, too.

Bet: Under 3.5 Goals (-122)
