Their only win came in the first round of this competition against Colchester United, courtesy of Tyler Goodrham&rsquo;s winner. In the Championship, however, they remain without a point after defeats to Portsmouth, Hull, and Birmingham.<\/p><p>The U&rsquo;s have historically struggled in this stage of the EFL Cup, losing each of their last four second-round ties, and face another daunting challenge against a top-flight side.<\/p><p>Brighton, meanwhile, are also searching for momentum. Fabian H&uuml;rzeler&rsquo;s men have collected just one point from their first two Premier League fixtures, having conceded a late equaliser against Fulham and then falling to defeat against Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. With Manchester City looming on the weekend, rotation may be expected, though the Seagulls will not want to slip to a surprise early exit.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oxford United vs Brighton Over\/Under Predictions<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Over\/Under<\/th><th>Odds<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Over 1.5 Goals<\/td><td>-590<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Under 1.5 Goals<\/td><td>+375<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Over 2.5 Goals<\/td><td>-170<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Under 2.5 Goals<\/td><td>+130<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Over 3.5 Goals<\/td><td>+154<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Under 3.5 Goals<\/td><td>-205<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Over 4.5 Goals<\/td><td>+360<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Under 4.5 Goals<\/td><td>-560<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Odds via FanDuel<\/a><\/em><\/p><p>The bookmakers expect goals, with the line strongly favouring over 2.5.
