Championship 2024-2025, Derby County-Oxford United, the likely lineups

Derby County-Oxford United, the probable formations

In the English Championship è the day of Derby County-Oxford United: Coach Hamshaw’s Rams, currently in third'last place in the standings, host Oxoford United on Tuesday at Pride Park Stadium, to try to get out of a negative period. In the last game the hosts managed to earn a point, but it had been eight consecutive defeats previously, between league and cup. The guests will in turn seek the three points to move away from the hot spots in the standings: they are currently in 17th place.

Hamshaw is expected to field a three-man defense, consisting of Sondre Klingen Langas, Nathaniel Phillips and Matthew Clarke, while on the flanks will be Thompson and Osborn. Odzon and Adams will play in the midfield: it will be their job to act as a filter between the defense and the attack, consisting of Mendez-Laing and Goudmijn on the outsides and Salvesen in the middle.

Oxford will field Cumming between the posts, while Coach Rowett’s defensive department will feature the Helik-Ciaron pair. In the box will be Vaulks and Brannagan. In attack, Tom Bradshaw will be helped on the flanks by Placheta and Goodrham.
