Oxford are yet to taste defeat in the Championship since Gary Rowett’s appointment in December.
The U’s, who are unbeaten in eight league outings following last weekend's goalless draw at Stoke, have won all four league matches at the Kassam Stadium under Rowett’s leadership, albeit two of those victories were recorded against the division's bottom two sides, Luton and Plymouth.
A tougher test should await them against a Bristol City outfit on the cusp of the playoff places, and backing both teams to score, which has obliged in eight of Oxford’s last 11 home league games, could be the way to go.
The Robins have suffered only two defeats in their last ten but they have kept only two clean sheets in 15 away games and have not won on their Championship travels since the beginning of November.
Three straight victories over Wigan, Rotherham and Reading have lifted Burton off the foot of League One table and the Brewers can further boost their survival aspirations on Saturday's trip to Barnsley.
A busy January, which includes the excellent acquisition of striker Jon Dadi Bodvarsson from Wrexham, has given Albion renewed confidence in the battle to beat the drop and this could be a good time to be heading to Oakwell.
Barnsley have lost three on the spin, against Bristol Rovers, Stevenage and Wycombe, and the Tykes have won only four of their 14 home league games this season.
