Oxford United form and stats

Oxford United have collected 11 points from their League One home games so far after 3-2-3.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Jack Stevens not having conceded a league goal in 202 minutes.

A nice win for Oxford United last time playing, versus Northampton Town. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-0 with Daniel Agyei, Olamide Shodipo and Matty Taylor (2) scoring for the victors. Preceding that game was the away draw at Blackpool that finished 0-0.

As indicated by the result mentioned above, Oxford played a great game against Northampton Town and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.

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 six games, won four matches, drawn two and lost zero.

Oxford United have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at The Kassam Stadium with 12 goals in 8 league matches. Oxford have conceded 10 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

AFC Wimbledon failed to get anything from their last game, a League One home match vs Crewe Alexandra (placed 9th) that ended with defeat 1-2. A 1-1 draw at Sunderland's stadium before that.

Late heartbreak for Wimbledon in the Crewe Alexandra match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
