Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Sutton United & Oxford United face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the EFL Trophy. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Sutton nor Oxford United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Sutton United form and stats
Last season their EFL Trophy adventure ended in the final.4 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Sutton United have to build on here at Falkirk Community Stadium in the League Two.
A strong away win for Sutton United against AFC Wimbledon the last match, as Eastmond were on target. Boldewijn, defender, was given a rating of 7.45/10 in that game, top of the team. Boldewijn won 4 of 6 duels.
Preceding that match was a League Two defeat to Tranmere Rovers (0-2).Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League Two game versus Walsall in only four days. This game is also played here at Falkirk Community Stadium.
Sutton United are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 7 games.
Oxford United form and stats
They also participated in EFL Trophy last season. This ended in the group stage.Playing away, Oxford United have won 2 games, drawn 1 and suffered 3 defeats in the League One this season.
Oxford United play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-2 victory visiting Exeter City. As you can tell from the result, the match against Exeter City was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Attacker Joseph got a player rating of 8.13 in the game. "Man of the match" Joseph scored two goals and hit three key passes.
The game before that, in the League One, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Wycombe Wanderers.After this away game Oxford return home for a League One game against Peterborough United. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Oxford United are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 7 away goals from 6 games (in the league). 7 goals have been conceded by Oxford United in these games.
