Oxford United will be eager to set the record straight on Friday night when they play host to Stevenage in this League One clash at the Kassam Stadium following a disappointing 1-0 defeat at home to Lincoln City in midweek.
However, despite that loss Oxford United still occupy 6th place in the League One table and therefore the play-off pack and The U’s had previously put together a solid and impressive five-match unbeaten sequence which included collecting four wins.
Victories against Port Vale, Fleetwood Town, Burton Albion and Peterborough United in 2-0, 4-0, 4-0 and 5-0 wins respectively suggest the recent loss to Lincoln City was perhaps just a minor blip especially as Oxford have won three of their last four home games.
Stevenage remain in 9th place in the League One standings as the visitors have managed to capture just one win from their last 10 matches overall in the third tier which came in the form of a 2-1 home win against Barnsley but also includes slipping to four defeats as well.
Despite picking up points in five draws within this 10-match period, Stevenage have also been handed four losses by the likes of Peterborough United, Leyton Orient, Exeter City and Burton Albion, while the bigger picture shows the visitors have registered just three wins from their previous 16 matches overall.
Interestingly, each of these three wins have been recorded on home soil at their Lamex Stadium but the visitors have failed to win their last seven games on their travels and this recent slump in form on the road could be the undoing of Stevenage here on Friday night.
The Betting Verdict
Oxford United have won four of the last six meetings against Stevenage and The U’s look in good shape to add another win here.
The Pick :
Oxford Utd 2-1 Stevenage
