Oxford City vs Dulwich Hamlet tips and predictions

Interesting match-up in National League South

It's eigth placed Oxford City welcoming 20th placed Dulwich Hamlet in this National League South clash as the home team looks to add digits to the 15 points between the sides.

This looks like a fairly even contest with evidence to support both teams winning. The pick is to get with the home team but be prepared that this might look foolish by the full-time whistle.

You'll have your own take on this but Oxford City might have reasons to be confident about adding to Dulwich Hamlet's woes. The last 16 fixtures have not all gone to plan for the away squad; they've lost 11 of them. Obviously they've had different opposition but that doesn't appear to be the record of a confident team.

Oxford City scored at least once in all of their recent 20 home matches and that approach has been consolidated at the back where they've conceded no more than once in all of their last 4 games.

Occasionally Dulwich Hamlet have lacked the requisite discipline in their 18-yard box. They have conceded at least once in 19 of their last 20 matches. It's a trend that might have warranted the hairdryer treatment and expect some improvements ahead of this game.

In the recent matches between the two teams in this match-up, Oxford City have been superior, winning 6 in a row.

It's possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side starts the match more brightly. The sportsbooks have forecasted goals at both ends of the park as they can both be dangerous in front of goal. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the BTTS No looks more tempting on this occasion.
