Oxford United Preview – Can U’s continue recent form?
Oxford United won their last three league matches in the regular League One season to steal the last remaining play-off spot in the third tier thanks to wins against Plymouth Argyle, Shrewsbury Town and Burton Albion, the latter being a 4-0 rout on the final day of the season.
Indeed, The U’s finished with six wins out of their last seven games of the season to claim 6th place and the hosts won their final four home games on the trot, scoring 14 goals in these matches but their last meeting at home against Blackpool ended in a 2-0 defeat.
Oxford’s results at home have been littered with wins but these have come in clusters and they’ve registered only one win from their last four meetings against Blackpool.
Blackpool Preview – Can Seasiders win five on trot?
Blackpool also finished their League One campaign in strong fashion as the visitors head into this 1st leg play-off clash at the Kassam Stadium on the back of four wins on the trot having registered wins against Sunderland, Northampton Town, Doncaster Rovers and Bristol Rovers respectively.
Blackpool produced a consistent sequence of results in the run-in as The Seasiders suffered just two defeats out of their last 22 matches overall, while results away from home have also been consistent as Blackpool have lost just one of their previous nine games on the road.
Most impressive of all, Blackpool have kept seven clean sheets in their last nine away games and this could set The Seasiders up for success on Tuesday night.
