Sheffield Wednesday form and stats
Sheffield Wednesday have collected seven points from their first three League One games here at Hillsborough Stadium, a promising start.
Happy days for Sheffield in their previous game, a League One match away at Wigan Athletic (placed 2nd) that ended with a 2-1 victory. The versatile forward Callum Paterson outdid all others in that fixture and managed a match rating of 7.75 out of 10. Paterson scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
A 1-1 draw away before that, with Ipswich Town the opponent.Sheffield are traveling soon after this match as the EFL Trophy match at Mansfield Town awaits in three days.
The Sheffield Wednesday fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Defensively Sheffield have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Oxford United form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their League One travels is 0 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Oxford are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Oxford won their last game, 5-1 versus Accrington Stanley played at home. As you can tell from the results above, Oxford was very dominant against Accrington Stanley, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-1 (!) with Nathan Holland (2), Mark Sykes and Matty Taylor providing the goals. Attacker Nathan Holland got a player rating of 8.41 in the game. "Man of the match" Holland scored two goals, served one assist and hit one key pass.
Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Gillingham.The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Stevenage in just three days.
The attacking power of Oxford when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. Oxford struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 7 goals conceded from these games.
