Oxford United form and stats
7-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Oxford United so far this season. After failing to beat Hull City here at The Kassam Stadium, Oxford has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with five wins in a row.
An away draw last time out for Oxford United, facing Ipswich Town in a game that ended 0-0. Preceding that match was a EFL Trophy defeat to Tranmere Rovers (0-2).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
