Stevenage are yet to beat Oxford at home in the Football League, with the first meeting ending 0-0 in February 2011, before losing in January 2015 (2-0) and October 2015 (5-1).

Oxford have lost only one of their six prior Football League matches with Stevenage (W2 D3), with that defeat coming at home in March 2011 (2-1). Indeed, the home side is yet to win this fixture in the Football League.

Stevenage have amassed 18 points from their first nine league games this season (W5 D3 L1) – since the EFL rebrand in 2004-05, only two newly promoted sides in League One have earned more than 20 points in their first 10 games, Bradford in 2013-14 (21) and Burton in 2015-16 (22).

Oxford have won eight of their last 11 league games under Liam Manning (L3), and could record four successive away league wins for the first time since March 2017 (run of five).
