Barnsley are steadily winning League One games and points here at Oakwell Stadium. 15 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats is the summary from 20 games.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Forest Green Rovers and winning 5-1.

Oxford United form and stats

There's been little loot from Oxford United's travels as they have only collected 21 points from 21 away games in the League One. Oxford United only have 4 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 9 draws. It's three draws from Oxford's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

A loss against Bolton Wanderers was the result prior to that, in a home game.

A quick return to home after this game, as Oxford are hosting Cheltenham Town in the League One only three days away.
