Recent form
Stoke City
Stoke City's recent form has been somewhat mixed, with the Potters struggling to find consistency in their performances. Despite their low position in the league table, the team have shown some resilience, particularly in defence. They have managed three clean sheets in their last six matches, which is a positive sign. However, their goalscoring has been a concern, with only 0.83 goals per game on average. The Potters have been involved in several tight encounters, with 67% of their recent matches seeing under 2.5 goals. Their most recent outing, a 3-1 defeat to Portsmouth, was their highest-scoring game in this period and broke a run of three consecutive draws. Stoke City's inability to secure victories is evident, with their last win coming five games ago, and they have not managed to string together more than two consecutive wins in this stretch.
Oxford United
Oxford United have shown promising form in recent weeks, with their last six games yielding three wins, two draws, and only one loss. The U's are currently on a three-match unbeaten run in the Championship, including back-to-back victories in their most recent fixtures. Their latest match against Luton Town was particularly high-scoring, ending in a thrilling 3-2 win for Oxford. Defensively, the team have been relatively solid, conceding an average of 1.17 goals per game over the last six matches and keeping two clean sheets. However, their goal-scoring record has been modest, with 1.33 goals per game on average. Interestingly, 67% of their recent matches have seen both teams score, suggesting exciting, competitive encounters for fans.

Recent home/away form
Stoke City
Stoke City have been struggling to find their form at home, with a mixed bag of results in their recent fixtures. The Potters have managed only one win in their last six home matches, drawing three and losing two. Their goal-scoring prowess has been particularly concerning, with just three goals netted in these six games, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per match. Defensively, they've fared slightly better, keeping three clean sheets but still conceding six goals overall. The majority of their recent home games have been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of matches seeing under 2.5 goals. Interestingly, both teams have scored in only 17% of these fixtures, highlighting Stoke's difficulties in finding the back of the net. Despite their underwhelming home form, the Potters did manage to secure a narrow 1-0 victory against Sunderland in their penultimate home game, offering a glimmer of hope for improvement.
Oxford United
Oxford United's recent away form has been mixed, with the team struggling to find consistency on the road. In their last six away matches, the U's have managed only one win, accompanied by two draws and three losses. Notably, Oxford have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of these six games, conceding a concerning average of 1.83 goals per game. Their 4-0 defeat to Leeds United stands out as a particularly heavy loss, contributing significantly to their goal difference of -7 over this period. On a positive note, Oxford have shown resilience by avoiding consecutive defeats in their most recent outings, alternating between draws and losses. However, their goal-scoring record away from home has been poor, netting just 0.67 goals per game, which highlights their offensive struggles on their travels.
