With the Championship<\/a> season entering its critical phase, Oxford United<\/a> host Charlton Athletic<\/a> at the Kassam Stadium this Saturday, 14 March, in a match that could be pivotal at the wrong end of the table. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hosts are fighting to escape the relegation zone, while Charlton seek to consolidate their place in mid-table. Recent head-to-head history favours Oxford, but both sides have shown vulnerability in front of goal and at the back, setting up a clash where fine margins \u2014 and set pieces \u2014 could decide the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
