Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Oxford United & Tranmere Rovers face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the EFL Trophy. All the pre-match information is available here!

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a League One match only two days ago. This match was also played here at The Kassam Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Tranmere Rovers have had more rest.

Oxford United form and stats

Oxford United was eliminated in the 2nd round last season in the EFL Trophy.

Oxford United have played 12 League One games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-2-3 (wins-draws-losses). This match is a EFL Trophy match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 4 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses in this competition. After failing to beat Hull City here at The Kassam Stadium, Oxford has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with five wins in a row.

A nice win for Oxford last time playing, versus Wigan Athletic. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Elliott Moore and Sam Winnall scoring for the victors. In the game before, an away victory in the League One match versus Bristol Rovers with a 2-0 scoreline.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Oxford's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played nine games, won seven matches, drawn two and lost zero.

The manager K. Robinson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Ipswich Town in only four days.

The Oxford fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 19 goals in 12 league matches. Oxford United have only conceded 11 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
