Week 29 brings us a match on Jan 28th where Burton Albion will host Oxford United in a meeting of these two League One teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 3 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. Burton Albion is fresh off their 0-4 loss against Shrewsbury Town. Christian Saydee scored the first goal for Shrewsbury Town in the 1st minute, then Christian Saydee added another in the 43rd minute In the end, Burton Albion was frustrated by Shrewsbury Town’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Shrewsbury Town ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Oxford United recorded a 0-2 loss against Wycombe Wanderers. Sam Vokes scored the first goal for Wycombe Wanderers in the 19th minute, then Mehmeti added another in the 35th minute on a feed from Sam Vokes In the end, Oxford United couldn’t muster any offence and Wycombe Wanderers ran away with the shutout win. Oxford United is looking for direction having 4 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, in The Kassam Stadium, Oxford United won by a score of 2 to 1. Cameron Brannagan scored the first goal for Oxford United in the 48th minute, then Kyle Joseph added another in the 71st minute.
Ciaron Brown and Kyle Joseph are the top scorers for Oxford United in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Burton Albion is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Victor Adeboyejo and Jonny Smith each only have 1 goal in their last five.
