Hungerford Town form and stats

3-0-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Vanarama National League South numbers at home for Hungerford Town so far this season. The Hungerford manager D. Robinson might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Hungerford Town's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Dartford (placed 1st). A 0-0 draw away before that, with St Albans City the opponent.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Hungerford have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won zero times, drawn one and lost one.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Dulwich Hamlet are coming to town in four days.

The Hungerford fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. Hungerford Town have only conceded 3 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Oxford City form and stats

The Vanarama National League South season is young and Oxford City have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. Oxford seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Oxford lost away at Shrewsbury Town (after extra-time) (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Prior to that match, the Oxford City manager D. Oldfield faced defeat when travelling to Dorking Wanderers and losing 2-3.

We have checked recent matches where Oxford City have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were four victories, three draws and six defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Oxford now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Vanarama National League South game at Braintree Town is waiting in only four days.

Oxford City have scored 4 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. For Oxford, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

As for the last eight games between these two teams, there's three Hungerford victories, one draw and four Oxford City wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.
