Oxford vs Sunderland Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

Sunderland are the skinniest price to succeed in this FA Cup clash, with the favourites afforded a 67% probability based on their -200 betting odds with the bookies. For those wanting to oppose the market leader, you can get +550 about Oxford United.

Taking Sunderland -1 on the Asian Handicap means a full payout at -109 if they beat Oxford by two or more goals. A one-goal victory would see your stake pushed which means a full refund.
