National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Oxford United or Exeter City that keep their silverware dream alive.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Oxford United form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the FA Cup for Oxford, as the manager Robinson led his troops to eliminate Woking, and reach the 2nd Round. Oxford United was eliminated in the 1st round replays last season in the FA Cup.3 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Oxford United have to build on here at The Kassam Stadium in the League One.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Oxford, who played 1-1 against Forest Green Rovers. That match was also played at this venue (The Kassam Stadium).
Before that, a nice away win at Woking. A FA Cup match. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Oxford United have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 9 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 1 and lost 4.
Oxford United are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 10 games. Oxford United have conceded 11 in these home matches.
Exeter City form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Port Vale in order to reach 2nd round of FA Cup. They also participated in FA Cup last season. This ended in the 2nd round.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Exeter City so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-4 (win-draw-lose).
Exeter failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Ipswich Town that ended with defeat 0-2. The attacker Stansfield got a match rating of 7.05 in that game. Stansfield hit two key passes.
That result followed a home victory 3-2 versus Peterborough United in the League One.We have checked recent matches where Exeter City have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 6 games were 1 victory, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
