Oxford United Preview – Can U’s avoid third loss on trot?
Despite losing their last two league matches on the trot in League One and dropping down to 11th place in the third tier, Oxford United are still only three points adrift of 6th placed Blackpool and the play-off pack prior to this Friday night’s clash against Lincoln City.
Recent losses to Blackpool 2-0 at home and a 1-0 loss away at Northampton Town have dented Oxford’s play-off ambitions but overall results on home turf at their Kassam Stadium have been reasonable enough.
A home record of 8-4-5 22/14 includes losing just twice in their last 12 matches while 11 of Oxford’s 17 home matches to date have resulted in low-scoring affairs and under 2.5 goals.
Lincoln City Preview – Can Imps get back on track?
Lincoln City were also seemingly on track for greater things earlier in the season as the visitors look set to gain automatic promotion from League One into the Championship but just one win out of their last eight matches has resulted in The Imps dropping down to 4th place and four points adrift of 2nd placed Peterborough United.
Lincoln’s one success in this recent period was a 3-0 home win over Crewe Alexandra but four defeats have outweighed this modest success and they now have a fight on their hands for automatic promotion.
However, Lincoln have performed well away from home this season as their away record of 10-5-2 26/12 indicates, but with recent results suffering, it may be best to go with the goals angle here as 10 of Lincoln’s 17 away matches have also been under 2.5 goals.
