Oxford United form and stats

The home fans saw their team lose the first League One game of the season here at The Kassam Stadium. Last season these fans witnessed 11 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses from Oxford United's 17 home games.

In their previous game, the manager K. Robinson led his Oxford to a defeat in the League One match away at Gillingham. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at The Kassam Stadium. Before that, Oxford drew at home versus Bristol Rovers (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties).

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 have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won seven times, drawn two and lost two.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Oxford United as they are travelling to their away game against Peterborough United in the League One. That match is four days after this one.

At The Kassam Stadium, Oxford United has the goal stats of 0-2 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.

Crewe Alexandra form and stats

The Alexandra goalkeeper Dave Richards is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 189 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Mikael Mandron, Luke Offord and Harry Pickering scored in Alexandra's previous match, the home game against Wigan Athletic that ended 3-0. A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Newcastle United U21.

We have checked recent matches where Crewe Alexandra have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were two victories, zero draws and three defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Alexandra are hosting Blackpool in the League One only four days away.

Crewe Alexandra have the goal stats of 0-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head
