An important duel in the bottom section of the League One, with both Oxford United and Swindon Town experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 18th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
