Match Facts
Oxford United have won two of their last three league meetings with Cheltenham Town (L1) including a 4-0 win in this fixture last season.
Following a 2-0 home win in the reverse fixture, Cheltenham Town are aiming to do a league double over Oxford United in the Football League for the first time with this the 12th different season in which they have met.
Oxford United have won only one of their last 10 league fixtures (D5 L4), and could lose three in succession for the first time since March 2023 (run of five).
Cheltenham Town have won just one of their last six away league games (D1 L4), failing to score more than one goal in any of those matches.
