Oxford City are chasing the top league spots while Slough Town are more involved in staying out of trouble and relegation. Who wins the prize?

Insights:
  • Oxford City have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Slough Town have the the worst goal difference (-20) in Vanarama National League South

5-8-12 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Slough Town when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 25 matches are 25-49 (scored/conceded).

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

The story so far in the Vanarama National League South for Oxford City at their home stadium (Court Place Farm) is 6 wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat. In general it's been a long time since Oxford tasted defeat here at Court Place Farm, as they have taken at least one point from their last eleven home games in the league.

The Oxford City followers enjoyed the previous game, watching their team host Chippenham Town and win 5-3. Sweet to taste a league win after three games without one. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Iaciofano was absolutely essential when Oxford City beat Chippenham Town 5-3, scoring three goals.

1-1 away at Eastbourne Borough before that.

Slough Town form and stats

There's been little loot from Slough Town's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 10 away games in the Vanarama National League South. Slough Town only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws. Slough has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

This match can not go any worse than the last one, a Fa Trophy home loss versus Taunton Town with 0-1 on the scoreboard.

The game before that, in the Vanarama National League South, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against Havant & Waterlooville.

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
