Oxford United to win
We are backing the hosts to win this match. Despite losing 4-1 to Cambridge United in the first game, thanks to a red card that saw them play 10 men for three-quarters of the match, Oxford has improved steadily ever since. They come to this game with 2W, 2D and 1L in the last five games. Stevenage has a similar record in the last four matches but hasn’t been the better side in this matchup.
Goals on both ends
Our second pick backs a one-sided scoring match. We argue that these teams have picked up form in recent matches and should put in a shift on matchday. The visitors have two clean sheets in the last five games while Oxford has none. A tough duel on matchday should end without goals on both sides.
Half-time draw
While the hosts have failed to keep a clean sheet in the last five games, they are unbeaten in the last three games during which they bagged 2W and 1D. On the flipside, Stevenage is now unbeaten in the last two games, all of which were clean sheet results of 1W and 1D. With that, we expect a tough duel in the first half to end without a breakthrough for either side.
Match Preview: Oxford and Stevenage Locked in Epic Battle for EFL Trophy Playoff Spots
These teams lost their first EFL Trophy Southern Group H fixture. Both sides conceded four goals and look to salvage some points in this fixture. Check out the team previews below for more details.
Oxford
Oxford United has been the better side in previous encounters with Stevenage. In 11 meetings since December 2008, the hosts bagged 5W and 4D while Stevenage got 2W. This fixture presents the hosts with another chance to show their dominance of Stevenage. The last meeting was an ELF Trophy fixture that Oxford won 6-2 away to Stevenage. Home advantage and a strong resurgence should play to the advantage of Oxford United.
Stevenage
Back to back clean sheets before this game means Stevenage look to continue their resurgence in the 12th meeting with Oxford United since 2008. The visitors come to this match with a 2-0 victory and will bank on their strong defence to edge out Oxford. The visitors lost 6-2 at home against Oxford in the last meeting. While overturning such a result looks difficult in this fixture, we expect a tough duel when these teams meet during the international break.
