Oxford United perform at a high level so far being 7th in the table. Burton Albion can look both up and down from their 16th position.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Burton Albion is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
Oxford United form and stats
When playing at home in the League One, Oxford United have managed 12 wins, 4 draws and suffered 6 defeats from 22 games. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Oxford, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
Before that game, the 3-1 home victory against Plymouth Argyle.
The victory against Shrewsbury Town came after Daniel Agyei's winning goal. The Oxford United manager K. Robinson was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 77th minute.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Oxford United matches with similar probabilities have ended with seven wins, two draws and zero defeats (from nine games).

Burton Albion form and stats
The visitors are W8-D8-L6 on the road this term. That's in the League One. Burton Albion are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played eleven in a row without losing.
Prior to that match, a home win 5-2 against Fleetwood Town.
As mentioned above, Burton drew the match against Gillingham. Manager J. Hasselbaink brought on Ryan Broom to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
