Oxford United form and stats

Oxford United are steadily winning League One games and points here at The Kassam Stadium. 8 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 13 games.

Oxford United manager Karl Robinson and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Burton Albion (placed 12th) in the League One. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-4 away at Peterborough United.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Oxford United as they have a new game in only three days, a League One match thankfully also at home. AFC Wimbledon are visiting.

The Oxford United fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 23 goals in 13 league matches. Oxford United are not conceding a lot of goals here at The Kassam Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 11 from 13 matches.

Sunderland form and stats

5-3-6 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Sunderland in their League One matches away.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Sunderland goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin is eager to challenge this, with his 218 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Sunderland had fun at their own home (The Kassam Stadium) last time out, beating Rochdale 3-0. L. Gooch (2) scored. A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Ipswich Town.

It was a convincing performance from Sunderland when Rochdale were beaten. The team "killed" the match in the first half leading 3-0 and the second half was comfortable. L. Gooch (2) scored their goals.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sunderland as they have only managed to score 12 times from 14 away games in the league. 16 goals have been conceded by Sunderland in these games.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Oxford United zero wins, four draws and Sunderland zero victories.
