Recent home/away form

Luton Town

Luton Town's recent home form has been concerning, with the team experiencing a challenging run of five consecutive losses before their most recent victory against Sheffield Wednesday. This win broke a worrying streak and might provide a much-needed boost to their confidence.

The team's defensive struggles are evident, conceding an average of 2.67 goals per game while managing to score 1.33 goals per game themselves. Two particularly high-scoring matches stand out: a 4-1 loss to Burnley in the Championship and a 4-2 defeat to Fulham in their final Premier League game of the previous season, highlighting the team's vulnerability at the back.

Oxford United

Oxford United's recent away form has been concerning, with the team currently on a five-game losing streak on the road. This run includes defeats in competitive matches against Bristol City, Coventry City, Blackburn Rovers, and another loss to Coventry in the League Cup, as well as a friendly loss to Mansfield Town. Their only away victory in this period came in a friendly against Solihull Moors. The team has struggled defensively, conceding in each of their last five away games and allowing an average of 1.5 goals per game. Offensively, they've managed to score in three of their four competitive away matches, with their 3-2 loss to Coventry City in the Championship being the highest-scoring game in this stretch. Despite their poor away form, Oxford United's overall league position (11th) and points tally (10 from 7 games) suggest better performances at home are keeping them competitive in the Championship.
