Home team gets the points, the away team claims a mighty victory or a tactical 0-0 draw? Anything could happen when the mid-table sides Cheltenham Town and Oxford United clash at Jonny-Rocks Stadium.
- Cheltenham Town have scored in all their matches so far.
- Oxford United have the most scored goals in the first half (8) in League One
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!
Cheltenham Town form and stats
The League One results playing at home this season for Cheltenham Town are 1-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
It's back home for Cheltenham, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Charlton Athletic away with the result 2-1. Taylor Perry and Matty Blair found the net in that victory. Matty Blair (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.81/10. Blair scored one goal, served one assist and hit one key pass.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Milton Keynes Dons that ended 1-1.This is expected to be a close game, with Cheltenham Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Cheltenham as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Cheltenham Town has won seven of these, drawn two and lost three.
The manager M. Duff will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Preston North End in only three days.
The Cheltenham fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Cheltenham defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

A 1-3 defeat away at AFC Wimbledon before that.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Oxford United in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Oxford, three draws and two defeats.
