Oxford United will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 1-2 League One success over Fleetwood Town.

For Oxford United, the scorers were Kyle Joseph (62') and Ciaron Brown (90'). Brendan Sarpong-Wiredu (44') scored for Fleetwood Town.

It’s been all too rare in recent games that Oxford United have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Oxford United have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 9 goals in the process. Such a pattern might not be continued into this next game, though.

Ahead of this meeting, Oxford United have left without a victory over Ipswich Town in their last 5 matches in the league.

Taking a look at their past results, Ipswich Town:

• remain undefeated by Oxford United in games played away from home for the previous 4 matches in the league. A very good record, indeed.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 2 away league matches.
• are without a win away from home in their last 3 matches in the league.
