Struggling Oxford United will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Hull City in the upcoming league round. It’s 20th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Oxford United have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Hull City is in the best form (5-0-1)
It's no vacation for neither Oxford nor Hull City as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Oxford United form and stats
The story so far in the League One for Oxford United at their home stadium (The Kassam Stadium) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats.
The spoils were shared in Oxford's previous game, also at home. Visiting Ipswich Town (placed 5th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. Before that game, the home loss against Swindon Town with the scoreline 1-2.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the EFL Trophy game versus Forest Green Rovers in only three days. This game is also played here at The Kassam Stadium.
Oxford are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Oxford defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Hull City form and stats
Hull City, who have the the best goal difference (+15) in League One, have an excellent away record in the League One so far with 6-0-2 from 8 games. The fact that Hull have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Hull City has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
Hull City had fun at their own home (The Kassam Stadium) last time out, beating Doncaster Rovers 2-1. Tom Eaves and Josh Magennis scored. Ahead of that match was the FA Cup away draw versus Stevenage (after extra-time, 6-5 on penalties) that ended 1-1.
Tom Eaves came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Doncaster Rovers last time out, making the manager G. McCann feel like a tactical genius.
A quick return to home after this game, as Hull City are hosting Crewe Alexandra in the EFL Trophy only three days away.
The Hull manager G. McCann has got the team scoring on the road, with 18 away goals in 8 league matches. Hull have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
