Stevenage travel to the Kassam Stadium this Saturday for their FA Cup first-round tie against Oxford United.
Stevenage sit 16th in the table with 16 points from 12 games, a record of four wins, four draws and four losses. They are 12 points behind the league leaders Huddersfield Town. Their recent form has been mixed, with a 2-2 draw away to Leicester last time out followed by a win, a draw, and two defeats in their last five. That recent sequence of results, reading two wins, one draw and two losses, includes the 2-2 draw at Leicester where Ben Broggio and Tugra Turhan scored, a 0-1 home loss to Milton Keynes Dons, a 3-0 home win over Plymouth, a 2-0 away loss to Bradford, and a 1-0 home win over Wigan. They have scored 17 goals and conceded 13 so far this season, giving them a goal difference of plus four.
Head-to-head history
Oxford United won the most recent meeting between the sides 2-1 in a League One fixture back in August. That result will be fresh in the memory as Stevenage aim for a cup upset this weekend.
After the cup tie, attention returns to the league with a home game against Mansfield Town on Saturday 14 November. Mansfield are currently 12th, four points ahead of Stevenage in the standings. The last meeting between these two sides ended in a 1-1 draw.
