Match Facts
None of Oxford’s 12 home league meetings with Reading have ended in a draw (W8 L4) with this set to be the first since April 2001 when the Royals won 2-0; this will be the first league meeting between the pair at the Kassam Stadium.
Reading are unbeaten in their last four league games against Oxford United (W3 D1), their best ever such run against the U’s.
Reading’s Sam Smith has scored three goals in his last four league games against Oxford United. Only against Burton Albion (5) has he scored more in English league football.
After losing 11 consecutive league matches on the road between April and November 2023, Reading have only lost one of their last five away from home (W1 D3).
