Oxford United vs Plymouth Argyle

Current streaks

Recent form

Oxford United

Oxford United's recent form has been concerning, with the team currently sitting in 23rd position in the Championship. The U's have endured a difficult run, winning just one of their last six matches and suffering four defeats in that period. Defensively, Oxford have struggled significantly, conceding 15 goals in their last six games, an average of 2.5 per match, and have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight outings. Their most recent victory, a 3-2 win over Cardiff City, was a high-scoring affair and a rare bright spot in an otherwise challenging stretch. The team's goal-scoring has also been problematic, netting only five times in six games, with two-thirds of their recent matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Despite their struggles, Oxford have managed to score in half of these games, suggesting they retain some attacking threat despite their lowly league position.

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle are experiencing a dire run of form, having failed to win in their last eight matches and currently sitting at the bottom of the Championship table. The Pilgrims are in the midst of a five-game losing streak, during which they've conceded a staggering 18 goals whilst scoring only once. Their defensive frailties are particularly alarming, with an average of 3.5 goals conceded per game over the last six matches and no clean sheets in their previous eight outings. Two heavy defeats stand out in their recent fixtures: a 6-1 thrashing by Norwich and a 4-0 loss to Bristol City. Despite these defensive woes, Plymouth have shown some attacking promise, as evidenced by their 3-3 draw with Middlesbrough, which was their highest-scoring game in this period. However, with only 0.83 goals scored per game in their last six matches, the Pilgrims are struggling at both ends of the pitch, resulting in a worrying goal difference of -16 over this spell.

Recent home/away form

Oxford United

Oxford United's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the team struggling to find consistency at their own ground. They've managed two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six home matches, scoring nine goals whilst conceding a concerning 14. A particularly high-scoring affair saw them lose 6-2 to Middlesbrough, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. On a positive note, Oxford have been involved in some entertaining matches, with 67% of their recent home games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 83% of these fixtures. Their most recent home outing resulted in a 3-2 victory over Cardiff City, potentially signalling an upturn in form. However, with only one clean sheet in their last six home games and conceding an average of 2.33 goals per game, Oxford United's defence remains a cause for concern as they battle to improve their 23rd position in the Championship.

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle's recent away form has been dire, with the Pilgrims currently enduring a five-match losing streak on the road. Their last six away games have yielded just one point from a possible 18, with a solitary draw against Derby County breaking up an otherwise dismal run. The team's defensive frailties are particularly evident, having conceded a staggering 20 goals in these six matches, an average of 3.33 per game, whilst failing to keep a single clean sheet. Notably, Plymouth have been on the wrong end of several high-scoring affairs, including a 6-1 drubbing at Norwich and 4-0 defeats to both Coventry City and Bristol City. Their attacking output has been equally concerning, managing to score just twice in these six away fixtures. With 67% of these games featuring over 2.5 goals, Plymouth's away days have certainly not lacked excitement, albeit largely at their own expense.
