Oxford United Prediction – Can Oxford make it six matches without defeat?

Last Saturday saw Oxford United extend their unbeaten run to 5 matches without a loss in League One following a point in a 2-2 draw away from home at Accrington Stanley, and this has helped lif The U’s up into 9th place and just 3 points adrift of the play-off pack.

Despite what was a poor start to their new League One campaign for Oxford United, as the hosts scraped just 1 win out of their first 7 matches of the new season, losing 4 of these 7 matches, Oxford have since bounced back with wins over Tranmere Rovers, Lincoln City and Gillingham.

These 3 wins have resulted in Oxford scoring a total of 12 goals with clean sheets in each of these matches too, so confidence is high at the moment for the squad to continue this unbeaten run of form, while their home record stands at a fairly solid looking 3-1-1 12/7.

In addition, Oxford have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 11 matches at their Kassam Stadium where they’ve kept 5 clean sheets and scored 2 goals or more in 8 of these last 11 matches too.

Doncaster Rovers Prediction – Can Doncaster kick-start season?

After making an impressive start to their new League One campaign with Doncaster Rovers putting together a 6-match unbeaten start to the third tier season, the visitors have since seemingly gone off the boil as they’ve secured just 1 further win from their subsequent 4 matches thereafter.

Rovers started the new term with 3 wins and 3 draws which included victories over Fleetwood Town, Lincoln City and Rotherham United in 3-2, 2-1 and 2-1 wins respectively, as well as draws with Gillingham, Rochdale and Ipswich Town, but it should be noted that the 3 wins were all recorded at their Keepmoat Stadium.

With just 1 win out of their last 5 matches overall, which was a 2-0 home win against Peterborough United, recent form has dipped for Doncaster, while on the road, the visitors have managed just 1 away win out of their last 14 matches on their travels.

It’s this poor form away from home which could be the determining factor in the outcome of this clash, as well as Doncaster failing to beat Oxford in their last 3 visits to the Kassam Stadium.

 

Key-Facts – Oxford Utd v Doncaster Rovers

  • Oxford have lost just 1 out of their last 11 matches at their Kassam Stadium
  • Oxford have scored 2 goals or more in 8 of these last 11 matches
  • Doncaster have managed just 1 away win out of their last 14 matches on the road

 

Betting Tips Verdict

Oxford United have been pretty steady at home and should hold the edge over a Doncaster side struggling for results at the moment.
