The visiting Ipswich Town side should be favourites in this visit to Oxford United, as the away team holds a 12 point advantage from their 14 league games this season.
- Oxford United have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Ipswich Town have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It's no vacation for neither Oxford nor Ipswich Town 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
When playing at home in the League One, Oxford United have managed 2 wins, 0 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 5 games. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Oxford United, their manager K. Robinson and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Oxford United's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Swindon Town (placed 16th). 1-1 away at Portsmouth before that.
Heartbreak for Oxford United in their last match as Swindon Town's T. Smith scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
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.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Oxford United as they have a new game in only four days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Hull City are visiting.
The Oxford fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.
Ipswich Town form and stats
Playing away, Ipswich Town have won 2 games, drawn 1 and suffered 3 defeats in the League One this season. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Ipswich are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
The attacking players of Ipswich have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 180 minutes.
Home advantage was not enough for Ipswich in their previous game, as they lost their League One-match, hosting Charlton Athletic, 0-2. A 0-3 loss hosting Hull City before that.
We have checked recent matches where Ipswich have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were one victory, one draw and two defeats.
Ipswich has another fixture away, a League One game, against Plymouth Argyle in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Ipswich has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 9 goals from 6 games. Ipswich struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 9 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): Oxford one win, one draw and Ipswich Town zero victories. As for goals, zero matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
