Recent home/away form

Oxford United

Oxford United's recent home form has been somewhat inconsistent, with only one win in their last six matches at the Kassam Stadium. The U's have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, averaging just 1.17 goals per game during this period. Defensively, they've been leaking goals at an alarming rate of 1.83 per match, with only one clean sheet to their name. A particularly high-scoring game stands out, with Oxford suffering a heavy 6-2 defeat to Middlesbrough. Despite their struggles, Oxford have shown resilience, managing to secure draws against tough opponents like West Brom and Millwall. The team's inability to turn draws into wins has contributed to their lowly 20th position in the Championship, with both teams scoring in 83% of these home fixtures, suggesting exciting but potentially frustrating encounters for the Oxford faithful.

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday have been in impressive away form recently, winning four of their last six matches on the road. The Owls are currently on a three-game winning streak away from home, which is particularly noteworthy. They've demonstrated a solid defensive record, conceding just five goals in these six away fixtures, with an average of 0.83 goals conceded per game. Their attacking prowess has been equally impressive, netting nine times in these matches, averaging 1.5 goals per game. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 67% of these away games, suggesting that while Wednesday are finding the back of the net consistently, they're not always able to keep a clean sheet. The team's ability to grind out results is evident, with four of their six away matches ending in 2-1 victories, showcasing their resilience on the road.
