Oxford have, by and large, had a good season on home soil in League One. They did suffer a loss on home turf on the weekend, however. But there could be a good opportunity for them to land some home joy on Tuesday as they welcome the struggling AFC Wimbledon.

Oxford can dig out win

Oxford suffered a 1-0 home loss against Sunderland on the weekend. Still, the overall picture of their League One home form this season isn’t bad at all. The U’s hold a W8 D3 L3 home record in this campaign.

So they have been reliable. Oxford have taken an excellent W4 D1 home record this season against teams currently sitting 15th or lower. AFC Wimbledon are third from bottom. The U’s took an away win against them by a 2-1 scoreline earlier this season as well.

Over 2.5 goals has happened in 7 of the last eight games between these two, so that’s a decent trend to size up for this game. Oxford are W1 D1 in their last won league home games against AFC Wimbledon.

Our betting prediction:
Over 2.5 goals
4/5

(odds taken 2153 GMT Sunday 16th February)

The defensive output of Oxford has been great at home, having conceded under a goal per game this season. Granted, their overall form home and away has not been hot recently at all.

Oxford have taken only one league win in their last eight games (D3 L4). That lone win did happen at home at least.

Their push for promotion, which was looking so positive at the end of December, has hit a serious speed bump. Three points in this game would pull them to within five points of the top-six on the night.

 

AFC Wimbledon grinding but not winning

It is a five-match winless streak of form that AFC Wimbledon are currently on in League One. They are seven points clear of the drop zone at least. It is a D3 L2 record that they have taken in their last five league outings.

Each of their last four away games in the division have ended over 2.5 goals. The road record that AFC Wimbledon has produced this season is only W2 D2 L11. They have managed to take only one point from their last three away games.

Twelve of the fifteen defeats that they have suffered this season, home and away combined have been by just a one-goal margin. They currently sit with the joint second-worst away record in League One. Only four teams have conceded more goals than they have done too.

Right off the bat then, a high scoring game looks to be on the cards. The trend has certainly been there in the away games of AFC Wimbledon this season. They have conceded at least two goals in each of their last three away games, so don’t look likely to win this.
