Current streaks

Recent form

Oxford United

Oxford United have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with three wins, two draws, and one loss in their last six games. The U's have been defensively solid, keeping three clean sheets and conceding just 0.83 goals per game during this period. Their matches have tended to be low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their last six games featuring under 2.5 goals. Oxford have displayed resilience in their Championship fixtures, remaining unbeaten in their last four league games with two wins and two draws. However, their FA Cup run came to an end with a 3-1 defeat to Exeter City, which was also their highest-scoring match in this sequence. Despite their recent upturn in form, Oxford United find themselves in 17th position in the Championship, highlighting the competitive nature of the league and the importance of maintaining their current momentum to climb the table.

Luton Town

Luton Town are currently experiencing a concerning run of form, finding themselves in 20th position in the Championship table. The Hatters have endured a five-match losing streak across all competitions, which was only halted by a goalless draw against Preston in their most recent outing. Their offensive struggles are particularly evident, with the team managing to score just twice in their last six matches, averaging a mere 0.33 goals per game. Defensively, Luton have also been vulnerable, conceding eight goals during this period. The team's inability to find the back of the net is further highlighted by the fact that 67% of their recent matches have seen fewer than 2.5 goals scored. With only one clean sheet in their last six games and both teams scoring in just 33% of these encounters, Luton Town are clearly facing challenges at both ends of the pitch as they seek to improve their league position.

Recent home/away form

Oxford United

Oxford United have shown impressive resilience at home, bouncing back from a challenging period to secure three consecutive victories in their most recent fixtures. Their current home form is particularly noteworthy, with the team managing to keep clean sheets in their last two matches against Blackburn Rovers and Plymouth Argyle. Despite their 17th position in the league, Oxford's home performances have been entertaining, with an average of 3.67 goals per game across their last six matches. The standout fixture was undoubtedly the high-scoring affair against Middlesbrough, which ended in a 6-2 defeat for Oxford. However, the team have demonstrated their ability to both score and concede, with both teams finding the net in 67% of these home games. Oxford's recent upturn in form at home is encouraging, especially considering they've managed to improve their defensive record while maintaining their goal-scoring threat.

Luton Town

Luton Town's recent away form has been dismal, with the team currently enduring a six-game losing streak on the road. The Hatters have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches, conceding an average of 2.17 goals per game whilst struggling to find the back of the net themselves, scoring just 0.67 goals per match. Their defensive woes are particularly evident, having conceded at least two goals in five of their last six away fixtures. The highest-scoring game during this run was their 4-2 defeat to Norwich, which also represents their heaviest loss in this sequence. Interestingly, despite their poor form, half of Luton's away matches have still seen both teams score, and there's been an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals. This dire away record has undoubtedly contributed to Luton's precarious league position, sitting 20th in the table with just 25 points from 26 games.
