Onto the game…
Eight points from four games means this has been Stevenage’s joint best start to a season in the Football League. Still undefeated in the league, the only defeat coming in a League Cup loss away at Millwall.
Last time out, and result of the season so far, Stevenage picked up three points away at local rivals Barnet. A Tom Pett strike was enough for the visitors to seal the win, playing the majority of the game with ten men after Dale Gorman’s dismissal.
Oxford United have seven points after four games, thanks to wins away at Oldham and at home to Portsmouth. Defeat at Scunthorpe and a draw at home to Shrewsbury on Saturday, means Pep Clotet’s side sit just one place outside the playoffs.
Team news…
Luke Wilkinson is a doubt for the game tonight after he suffered from cramp vs Barnet, due to his illness in the week. Jack King has been training the last few days, and is still working on his recovery from a groin strain.
Previous meetings...
Stevenage and Oxford United have only met six times in the league, the last time coming two seasons ago before Oxford’s promotion to League One. After a 5-1 home defeat to the U’s in 2015, Stevenage went to the Kassam Stadium in the reverse fixture and battled out a 1-1 draw, seen as the catalyst of survival that season.
