Oxford United form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the League One this season. Oxford United have only managed 5 wins, 4 draws and 11 losses from their games here at The Kassam Stadium. With seven home League One games in a row without a win, the Oxford fans could feel they are not getting value for their money.

Oxford United haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 200 minutes ago. Brannagan scored that one.

The Oxford crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Bolton Wanderers here at The Kassam Stadium. The first setback in the shape of a loss after going undefeated through four league fixtures. Midfield player Brannagan got a match rating of 7.91 in that game, the max score being 10. Brannagan hit five key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 54 successful passes (of 59 total).

Before that, Oxford United played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Port Vale.

This is expected to be a close game, with Oxford United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Oxford United as a small favourite), we find 9 games. Oxford United has won 4 of these, drawn 1 and lost 4.

Trouble hitting the net? In this club's last 12 league games, 9 have produced two goals or less.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Oxford as they are travelling to their away game against Barnsley in the League One. That match is four days after this one.

Oxford United are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 23 goals in 20 games. Oxford United have conceded 28 in these home matches.

Portsmouth form and stats

The visitors are W8-D6-L7 on the road this term. That's in the League One. Portsmouth have had a generous will to share for some time now, running a streak of three draws in a row.

Portsmouth are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Shrewsbury Town (placed 10th). Pack got a match rating of 7.41 in that game, top player of the team. Pack scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Morecambe.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 6 similar matches played by Portsmouth in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Portsmouth, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Portsmouth are hosting Accrington Stanley in the League One only four days away.
