Recent respective form guides

Oxford United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While U's have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Cheltenham T.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The Robins's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 6 goals for and 5 against.
