Who will win between Oxford United and Sunderland?

Sunderland are slight favourites according to CheckLive's analysis, backed by a 54% win probability. Their superior squad depth and mental composure in knockout games give them an edge, but Oxford's recent 2-0 win in this fixture means an upset is far from out of the question.

Which team has better form coming into the FA Cup tie?

Sunderland hold a modest form advantage, with a 42.5 rating against Oxford's 35.8. The Black Cats have been inconsistent away from home, while Oxford are on a four-match winless league run. Recent head-to-head results, however, suggest Oxford can raise their level in this specific matchup.

Will both teams score in the Oxford United vs Sunderland match?

Both teams scoring is a live possibility given Sunderland's away defensive fragility and Oxford's set-piece threat. However, the last meeting ended 2-0 to Oxford, and the average total goals in their H2H is 2.3, suggesting a low-scoring cup tie is the likeliest outcome.
