Oxford United 1-1 Derby County

Current streaks

Recent form

Oxford United

Oxford United's recent form has been characterised by a remarkable run of draws, with the team securing four consecutive stalemates in their last four matches. This streak of draws has contributed to their mid-table position of 11th in the Championship. Despite their inability to secure victories, Oxford have shown resilience in defence, conceding only six goals in their last six games and keeping two clean sheets. The team's goal-scoring prowess has been modest, netting six times in as many matches, with a consistent average of one goal per game. Interestingly, Oxford have been involved in predominantly low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent matches featuring fewer than 2.5 goals. However, both teams have found the net in two-thirds of these encounters, suggesting competitive and closely-fought contests.

Derby County

Derby County have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, currently sitting 12th in the Championship with 13 points from 10 games. The Rams have struggled for consistency, experiencing a concerning three-match losing streak before bouncing back with a win and a draw in their last two outings. Their defensive record has been relatively solid, with two clean sheets in their last six matches and only conceding 1.17 goals per game on average. However, Derby's attacking output has been somewhat limited, scoring just six goals in their last six games. Notably, the majority of their recent matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their last six games seeing under 2.5 goals. The 3-2 defeat to Norwich stands out as a rare high-scoring encounter in an otherwise tight run of fixtures.

Recent home/away form

Oxford United

Oxford United have been in impressive form at home, going unbeaten in their last six matches at the Kassam Stadium. The U's have won four and drawn two of these encounters, showcasing a strong defensive record with four clean sheets and conceding only two goals in total. Their home form has been particularly noteworthy, with a run of four consecutive victories before their most recent two draws. Oxford have been clinical in front of goal, scoring nine times across these six matches, including a high-scoring 3-1 win against Preston. The team's defensive solidity is evident, with 83% of their home games featuring under 2.5 goals. This robust home form has contributed significantly to Oxford's respectable 11th position in the Championship, accumulating 13 points from 10 games.

Derby County

Derby County's away form has been notably poor in recent matches, with the Rams failing to secure a victory in their last six outings on the road. The team are currently on a run of four consecutive away defeats in the Championship, which was only broken by their most recent draw against Millwall. Derby's defence has been particularly vulnerable, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game and keeping just one clean sheet in their last six away fixtures. The highest-scoring match during this period was their 4-2 loss to Blackburn Rovers, which also represents their heaviest defeat. Despite their struggles, Derby have managed to find the net in 50% of these away games, though their goal-scoring average of 0.67 per match suggests they are struggling to create consistent attacking threats on their travels.
