The Blackpool match was the last time out without a victory. It’s been three wins in a row for Oxford here at The Kassam Stadium, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.

Oxford are returning here after visiting Rochdale in a League One game and winning with a 4-3 scoreline. Elliott Moore, Daniel Agyei, Olamide Shodipo and James Henry scored the goal(s). Ahead of that match, Oxford won a home game hosting Bristol Rovers (2-0).

A goal frenzy last time out for Oxford, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Rochdale. Fun stuff to watch! Some amazing scenes last match, when Olamide Shodipo scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time.
