Goal Statistics

Oxford United's defensive record is to be admired, A. Ramsey's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive League One games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for Barnsley makes sense in this context.

Oxford United have been reliable in attack of late, finding the net in 8 consecutive League One matches. Their PG of 1.8 against Barnsley on Saturday suggests they're likely to extend that run.
