Oxford United form and stats
The story so far in the League One for Oxford United at their home stadium (The Kassam Stadium) is 5 wins, 3 draws and 9 defeats.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 316 minutes without scoring a league goal. Brannagan was the last player to find the net.
No payout for Oxford United in their previous match, an away game at Lincoln City that ended in defeat 0-1.
Preceding that match was the home game against Bristol Rovers that was lost 0-3.The Oxford United fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 17 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Oxford have conceded 23 goals. When Oxford United hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Morecambe, Cambridge United, Accrington Stanley, Forest Green Rovers, Milton Keynes Dons, Burton Albion and Cheltenham Town), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 4 of 5 times.
