An interesting fact regarding the matches between these two teams over the past 13 years is that none of them has ended in a draw. Northampton has 7 wins against 6 for Oxford. Both teams are in pretty good form as managed 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss of their last 6 games.
This clash is shaping up to be quite tough in view of the almost identical statistics about the recent performance of both teams, which are separated by 7 points in the standings in favor of the hosts. Northampton Town is quite strong host and their 70% success rate at home certainly tilts the scales in their favor.
5 of the last 6 games between these two teams ended with over 2.5 goals scored. Most likely, these high odds for such a bet are dictated by the fact that in recent times most of the matches of Northampton and Oxford do not end with a lot of goals. However, if we examine the statistics thoroughly, we will notice that it is rather rare for one of those teams to fail to score at least one goal in their matches.
