Current streaks

Recent form

Oxford United

Oxford United's recent form presents some interesting trends. The U's are currently experiencing a winless streak that has stretched to eight games, with their last six matches resulting in four consecutive draws followed by two losses. This run has seen them slip to 14th in the Championship table. Despite their inability to secure victories, Oxford have shown resilience in attack, managing to score in five of their last six matches. However, their defensive record is a concern, having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six outings. The team's propensity for draws is notable, with 67% of their recent games ending level. High-scoring encounters have been relatively rare, with only 33% of matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 83% of Oxford's recent fixtures, suggesting that while they are finding the net regularly, they are also struggling to shut out their opponents.

Hull City

Hull City's recent form has been inconsistent, with the Tigers struggling to find consistent success in the Championship. The club have drawn their last three league matches, indicating a difficulty in securing victories. Their last six games across all competitions have yielded just one win, coming in a friendly against Alanyaspor. Defensively, Hull City have been relatively solid, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game, but their attack has been lacklustre, scoring only 0.83 goals per match. A particularly concerning result was the 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Norwich, which stands out as the highest-scoring game in this period. The Tigers have also failed to score in two of their last six matches, highlighting their offensive struggles. With 83% of their recent games featuring under 2.5 goals, Hull City's matches have tended to be low-scoring affairs.

Recent home/away form

Oxford United

Oxford United's recent home form presents a mixed picture, with the team showing resilience but struggling to convert draws into wins. The U's have gone unbeaten in five of their last six home matches, demonstrating a solid defensive record with only 0.83 goals conceded per game and two clean sheets. However, their attacking prowess has been somewhat lacklustre, averaging just 1.17 goals per game. A notable high-scoring game was their 3-1 victory over Preston, which stands out amidst a series of tighter contests. The team's inability to secure victories is evident in their recent run of three consecutive draws, followed by a loss to Swansea. This pattern of draws, accounting for 67% of their recent home games ending with under 2.5 goals, suggests Oxford United are finding it challenging to break down opponents at the Kassam Stadium.

Hull City

Hull City have shown mixed form in their recent away fixtures, with three wins, two losses, and a draw in their last six matches on the road. The Tigers have demonstrated their attacking prowess in some high-scoring encounters, notably securing impressive 3-1 victories against both Queens Park Rangers and Stoke City. However, they've also suffered heavy defeats, including a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Norwich. Hull City's away form has been inconsistent, with no significant winning or losing streaks to speak of. Their goal-scoring record is respectable, averaging 1.5 goals per game, but they've struggled defensively, conceding the same number. Interestingly, half of their away matches have seen both teams score, and there's an even split between games with under and over 2.5 goals, suggesting unpredictable outcomes for spectators.
