Wigan Athletic are welcoming Oxford United for another important game after their 2-2 result against Tranmere Rovers (after extra-time, 3-1 on penalties).
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the League One.
Wigan Athletic form and stats
Wigan Athletic, who have the fewest scored goals (8) in League One, have collected 4 points from their League One home games so far after 1-1-3. Wigan has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager J. Sheridan and the players.
Wigan manager J. Sheridan and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Tranmere Rovers (after extra-time, 3-1 on penalties) in the EFL Trophy. Ahead of that match, Wigan lost 2-3 at home to Chorley (after extra-time).
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Wigan, as the League One home game vs Bristol Rovers is only three days away.
Wigan has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Wigan defense is not exactly impregnable. 8 goals conceded from 5 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Oxford United form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Oxford United so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 1-0-5 (win-draw-lose). It's all red in the travel logs of Oxford, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.
Oxford United might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Crewe Alexandra proved too strong as Oxford slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at The Kassam Stadium. Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Walsall.
The schedule is very tough for Oxford now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League One game at Portsmouth is waiting in only three days.
The visitors have scored 5 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Oxford have conceded 12 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Wigan, zero draws and zero wins for Oxford United. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: one game.Top Goalscorers
