Current streaks

Recent form

Oxford United

Oxford United's recent form shows a mixed bag of results, with an equal number of wins and losses in their last six matches. The team has displayed strong defensive capabilities, keeping three clean sheets and conceding only 0.67 goals per game on average. However, their offensive output has been moderate, scoring 1.33 goals per game. Interestingly, 67% of their matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards low-scoring affairs. The team has shown consistency in their scoring, netting exactly three goals in each of their victories against Solihull Moors and Oxford City. It's worth noting that Oxford United has alternated between wins and losses in their last five games, failing to string together consecutive positive results. Their most recent match, a 2-0 loss to Palermo, broke a pattern of clean sheets in their wins.

Norwich

Norwich City's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with only one win in their last six matches. The team is currently experiencing a three-game winless streak, which includes two losses and a draw. Their defensive performance has been a concern, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game in the last six matches, while their attacking output has been modest at 1.17 goals per game. Notably, two-thirds of their recent games have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting potentially exciting matches for spectators. The 3-0 victory against Northampton stands out as their most convincing performance, while the 3-0 loss to Club Brugge represents their heaviest defeat in this period. Despite their mixed recent form, Norwich's 6th place finish in the league with 73 points from 46 games indicates a relatively successful season overall.

Recent home/away form

Oxford United

Oxford United's recent home form has been mixed, with no clear pattern of consistency emerging. They've alternated between wins and losses in their last four home games, failing to secure back-to-back victories. Defensively, they've been relatively solid, keeping two clean sheets in their last six matches, but their goal-scoring has been a concern, averaging less than one goal per game. Notably, all of their recent home games have been low-scoring affairs, with 100% of the matches featuring under 2.5 goals. This trend suggests tight, defensive encounters at Oxford's home ground, with no particularly high-scoring games standing out.

Norwich

Norwich's recent away form has been mixed, with some concerning results in their last six matches. They've managed only one win, two draws, and suffered three losses. There's a noticeable defensive vulnerability, having conceded 11 goals in these six games, with an average of 1.83 goals conceded per game. The 4-0 loss to Leeds United stands out as a particularly heavy defeat, while the 3-0 win against Northampton is their only clean sheet in this stretch. Interestingly, despite the defensive issues, Norwich has been involved in high-scoring games, with 67% of these matches seeing over 2.5 goals. However, they've struggled to score consistently, netting only 6 goals in 6 games, which is a concern for a team that finished 6th in the Championship.
