Millwall 0-1 Oxford United

Current streaks

Recent form

Millwall

Millwall have been struggling with form recently, enduring a challenging period that saw them lose three consecutive matches before a slight improvement in their last three games. The Lions have been particularly goal-shy, netting just twice in their last six outings, resulting in a meagre average of 0.33 goals per game. Despite their offensive woes, Millwall's defence has shown some resilience, conceding only five goals in this period and keeping two clean sheets. The team's recent matches have been notably low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their last six games featuring under 2.5 goals. This defensive solidity, coupled with their lack of firepower up front, has led to a series of tight contests, with five of their last six matches being decided by a single goal or ending in a draw.

Oxford United

Oxford United's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the team showing signs of improvement after a difficult patch. The U's have won their last two matches, scoring five goals in the process, which is a positive turnaround following a concerning three-game losing streak. Their 3-2 victory over Cardiff City stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, demonstrating their attacking potential. However, Oxford's defensive vulnerabilities are evident, having conceded 12 goals in their last six games, including a heavy 4-0 defeat to Leeds United. Their 20th position in the Championship table reflects their struggles, but the recent wins suggest they may be finding their feet. The team's ability to keep clean sheets remains a concern, with only one in the last six matches, and their goal difference of -5 over this period indicates a need for better balance between attack and defence.

Recent home/away form

Millwall

Millwall have shown a mixed bag of form at home in recent matches, with a notable tendency towards low-scoring affairs. The Lions have managed three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six home games, demonstrating their ability to grind out results despite a lack of goalscoring prowess. Remarkably, all of their recent home fixtures have been decided by a single goal or ended in a draw, with every match featuring under 2.5 goals. Millwall's defence has been particularly impressive, keeping three clean sheets and conceding only 0.5 goals per game on average. However, their attacking output has been limited, scoring just 0.67 goals per game. This defensive solidity combined with a lack of offensive firepower has resulted in a series of tight, low-scoring encounters at The Den, with both teams scoring in only 17% of these matches.

Oxford United

Oxford United have been struggling mightily away from home, enduring a dismal run of five consecutive away defeats in the Championship. Their goal-scoring woes are particularly striking, having failed to find the back of the net in their last five away fixtures. The U's have conceded 13 goals whilst scoring just once in their previous six away matches, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities and offensive inefficiencies on the road. Their last away point came in a 1-1 draw against Portsmouth, but since then, they've been unable to secure any positive results. The 4-0 defeat to Leeds United stands out as their heaviest away loss in this run, emphasising their difficulties against stronger opposition. With no clean sheets and an average of 2.17 goals conceded per game, Oxford's away form is a significant contributor to their current 20th position in the league table.
