With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second League One game of the season. Oxford United look forward to welcoming Sunderland in front of their home support.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Carabao Cup. Thankfully the previous game, versus Watford, was also a home game here at The Kassam Stadium. The away team is better rested.
Oxford United form and stats
A nice win for Oxford last time playing, versus Watford. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Robert Hall scoring for the victors. Prior to that, an away loss at Lincoln City in the League One.
