Recent form

Sheffield United

Sheffield United have shown impressive form in their recent fixtures, with a notable run of four consecutive victories before their most recent draw against Coventry City. The Blades have been particularly solid defensively, conceding only four goals in their last six matches and keeping three clean sheets. Their goalscoring has been consistent, averaging 1.5 goals per game, with a tendency towards lower-scoring affairs as 67% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals. A highlight of their recent run was the local derby victory over Sheffield Wednesday, which helped extend their unbeaten streak to five games. The team's current second-place position in the Championship table, with 31 points from 15 games, underscores their strong performances and suggests they are serious contenders for promotion this season.

Oxford United

Oxford United have been struggling for form recently, with only one win in their last six matches. Their most recent game was a particularly heavy defeat, losing 6-2 at home to Middlesbrough, which significantly contributed to their poor goal difference of -7. The U's have been finding it difficult to score, netting just five times in their last six outings, with an average of less than a goal per game. Defensively, they've been leaking goals, conceding 12 in the same period, with only one clean sheet. Oxford are currently on a three-game losing streak, which has seen them slip to 16th in the Championship table. Despite their recent woes, half of their matches have seen both teams score, suggesting they're still capable of finding the net, even if results aren't going their way.

Recent home/away form

Sheffield United

Sheffield United have been in formidable form at home, boasting an impressive six-match winning streak in the Championship. The Blades have been particularly resolute in defence, keeping clean sheets in all six of these encounters, which is a remarkable achievement. While their attacking output hasn't been prolific, with an average of 1.33 goals scored per game, it has proven sufficient to secure maximum points. Notably, all of these victories have been by a one-goal margin, with five 1-0 wins and a single 2-0 result against Stoke City. This consistent run of narrow victories underscores Sheffield United's ability to grind out results, with every match during this period featuring under 2.5 goals. Their solid defensive record and efficient attacking display have contributed significantly to their current second-place position in the league, accumulating 31 points from 15 games.

Oxford United

Oxford United have struggled to find their footing away from home, failing to secure a victory in their last six away fixtures. The team's recent form shows a concerning trend, with two consecutive losses followed by two draws and then another two defeats. Notably, Oxford have been unable to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches, conceding at least one goal in each game. Their goal-scoring prowess has also been lacklustre, with the U's only managing to find the back of the net four times in six matches, averaging a mere 0.67 goals per game. The 2-2 draw against Luton Town stands out as the highest-scoring encounter, where Oxford demonstrated their ability to compete against tough opposition. Despite their struggles, the team has shown some resilience, with 50% of their away games seeing both teams score, suggesting they can pose a threat even in challenging circumstances.
