Recent form

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, currently sitting 13th in the Championship with 53 points from 41 games. The Owls' last six matches have yielded two wins, two draws, and two losses, indicating inconsistent performances. Their goal-scoring record has been respectable, netting 9 goals in these games for an average of 1.5 per match, whilst conceding 7. Notably, Wednesday secured back-to-back victories against Norwich and Plymouth Argyle, scoring three goals in each of those away fixtures. However, they've struggled to keep clean sheets, with their last coming five games ago. The team's matches have been evenly split between high and low-scoring affairs, with 50% seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their mid-table position, Sheffield Wednesday have shown they can be potent in attack on their day, particularly away from home.

Oxford United

Oxford United's recent form has been inconsistent, with the team struggling to find a consistent run of results. The U's have alternated between wins and losses in their last five matches, failing to secure back-to-back victories. Their defensive record has been a concern, conceding in four of their last six games, with their most recent match against Queens Park Rangers resulting in a 3-1 defeat - the highest-scoring game in this period. Despite their 18th position in the Championship, Oxford have managed to keep two clean sheets in their last six outings, both resulting in 1-0 victories against Sheffield United and Watford. The team's goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging just one goal per game, while they've been conceding at a slightly higher rate of 1.33 goals per match. Interestingly, both teams have scored in two-thirds of Oxford's recent fixtures, suggesting their matches have been closely contested affairs.

Recent home/away form

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday's recent home form has been dire, with the Owls currently enduring a concerning four-match losing streak at Hillsborough. The team have failed to secure a victory in their last six home fixtures, managing only two draws before their current run of defeats. Their goal-scoring prowess has been particularly lacklustre, netting just five times in these six matches, whilst conceding nine. Notably, Sheffield Wednesday have been unable to keep a clean sheet during this period, with both teams finding the back of the net in two-thirds of these encounters. The Owls' struggles are further emphasised by their inability to score in their last two home outings, suffering identical 1-0 defeats to Hull City and local rivals Sheffield United.

Oxford United

Oxford United's recent away form has been notably poor, with the team failing to secure a victory in their last six outings. The U's have endured a challenging run, suffering four defeats and managing only two draws on their travels. Their defensive record has been a concern, conceding eight goals whilst only finding the net three times themselves, resulting in a goal difference of -5. The team has struggled to keep clean sheets, managing just one in this period. Interestingly, 67% of these away fixtures have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards low-scoring encounters. Despite their struggles, Oxford United have shown some resilience, with both teams scoring in half of these matches. However, their position of 18th in the league table reflects their difficulties on the road, as they've been unable to convert draws into wins and have suffered a string of narrow defeats.
