West Brom 2-0 Oxford United

Current streaks

Recent form

West Brom

West Bromwich Albion's recent form has been inconsistent, with the Baggies struggling to string together consecutive positive results. Their last six matches have yielded two wins, one draw, and three losses, highlighting their unpredictable performances. Notably, West Brom have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 games, which is a concerning defensive trend. The standout fixture in this period was their impressive 5-1 victory over Portsmouth, demonstrating their attacking potential. However, this high-scoring match appears to be an anomaly, as 50% of their recent games have seen under 2.5 goals. Despite their mixed form, West Brom have managed to maintain a respectable 6th position in the Championship table, suggesting they are still in contention for a play-off spot.

Oxford United

Oxford United's recent form has been a mixed bag, with the team struggling to find consistency in the Championship. The U's have managed just one win in their last six matches, a thrilling 3-2 victory over Luton Town, which stands out as their highest-scoring game in this period. They've shown resilience in defence, securing two clean sheets, but have also struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only four goals across these six games. Oxford are currently on a five-game winless streak, which includes three draws and two losses. Their defensive solidity is evident, with 83% of their recent matches seeing under 2.5 goals, but this has come at the cost of offensive output, with the team averaging less than one goal per game. Despite sitting 16th in the table, Oxford's ability to grind out draws suggests they're battling hard to maintain their Championship status.

Recent home/away form

West Brom

West Bromwich Albion have shown strong form at home in recent matches, winning four of their last six games at The Hawthorns. The Baggies have been particularly prolific in front of goal, netting 13 times in these six fixtures, with a notably high-scoring 5-1 victory over Portsmouth. Their offensive prowess is evident in their average of 2.17 goals scored per game, whilst maintaining a respectable defensive record of conceding just one goal per match. West Brom enjoyed a four-game unbeaten run at home before their most recent defeat to Blackburn Rovers, which included three consecutive wins. The team's ability to both score and concede regularly is reflected in the fact that both teams scored in 67% of these matches, contributing to an entertaining average of 3.17 total goals per game.

Oxford United

Oxford United's recent away form has been characterised by resilience and defensive solidity, albeit with a struggle to secure victories. The U's have managed to avoid defeat in four of their last six away matches, drawing four and losing two. Their defence has been particularly noteworthy, keeping two clean sheets in their last three away fixtures, including goalless draws against Derby County and Stoke City. However, Oxford's attacking prowess has been lacking, with only three goals scored in their last six away games, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per match. The team's ability to keep matches low-scoring is evident, with 83% of these games featuring under 2.5 goals. The most notable result in this run was a 3-1 defeat to Exeter City in the FA Cup, which stands out as the highest-scoring game and their heaviest loss in this period.
