Oxford United vs Burnley

Current streaks

Recent form

Oxford United

Oxford United's recent form shows a mixed performance with some notable patterns. After a strong start in the Championship, winning two consecutive games against Preston and Stoke City, the team has hit a rough patch, losing their last three matches across all competitions. Their most recent defeat came against Bristol City, continuing a downward trend. Despite being 9th in the league with 9 points from 6 games, their goal difference is negative (-1), indicating defensive vulnerabilities. The team has been involved in high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. Their match against Coventry City stood out as particularly goal-rich, ending in a 3-2 defeat. While Oxford United has shown the ability to score consistently (1.33 goals per game), their defense has struggled, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game and managing only one clean sheet in this period.

Burnley

Burnley's recent form shows a mix of results, but they've managed to secure a strong 3rd position in the league with 13 points from 6 games. The team is currently on a two-game winning streak in the Championship, bouncing back from a brief dip that included a League Cup loss to Wolves. Their most impressive performance came in a 5-0 thrashing of Cardiff City, highlighting their potential for high-scoring games. Defensively, Burnley has been solid, conceding less than a goal per game on average and keeping two clean sheets in their last six matches. The team's goal difference of +4 and their ability to win low-scoring games (67% of matches under 2.5 goals) suggest a well-balanced side capable of grinding out results when needed.

Recent home/away form

Oxford United

Oxford United's recent home form has been impressive, showcasing a strong run of four consecutive competitive wins. This streak includes victories in the Championship and League Cup, with the team scoring at least two goals in three of these matches. Notably, they've maintained clean sheets in three out of their last four home games, demonstrating solid defensive performances. The only blemish in their recent home record is a friendly loss to Palermo, which doesn't impact their competitive form. Their goal-scoring average of 1.67 goals per game at home, combined with a miserly 0.5 goals conceded per game, highlights their effectiveness at both ends of the pitch. The fact that 83% of their recent games have seen under 2.5 goals suggests they're involved in tightly contested matches, often coming out on top.

Burnley

Burnley's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses in their last 6 away games. Their most impressive result came in a high-scoring 4-1 victory against Luton Town in the Championship, showcasing their offensive potential. However, they've struggled for consistency, failing to string together more than two consecutive positive results. Defensively, they've managed only one clean sheet in these six games, conceding in 83% of their away matches. The team's goal difference is neutral, having scored and conceded 7 goals each, averaging 1.17 goals both for and against per game. Interestingly, 67% of their away games have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards tighter, lower-scoring encounters on the road.
