Leeds v Oxford Utd

Leeds vs Oxford Preview

Leeds United had to make do with a point in last weekend's trip to Preston NE in the Championship when The Whites were held to a 1-1 draw at Deepdale but the Yorkshire club now return to Elland Road for this Saturday's clash against Oxford United, no doubt looking to pick up where they left off on home soil.

Oxford United meanwhile slumped to a fifth defeat in six games in the English tier last weekend when The U's were handed a heavy 3-1 loss at home by Sheffield Wednesday leaving Oxford United sitting in 20th place and just a point above the relegation zone.

Leeds United currently occupy second place in the Championship table in what has been a largely successful campaign for Daniel Farke's side as they have also slipped to just three defeats throughout the whole of this season to date, whilst picking up 12 victories within their total of 21 games played so far.

Only one of these three defeats were inflicted upon Leeds United at Elland Road but having also collected no fewer than nine wins within their 11 home games to date, the Yorkshire hosts look in good shape to return to winning ways at the expense of a struggling Oxford United outfit on Saturday.

Oxford United are likely to be bracing themselves ahead of this tough looking trip to Yorkshire to take on high-flying Leeds United having been dealt five defeats within their last six games and gaining just one point from the last possible 18 on offer in the process.

A point gained in a 1-1 draw at home with Millwall has been swamped by losses at the hands of Watford, Middlesbrough, Sheffield United, QPR and Sheffield Wednesday respectively, so confidence will not be high with this prospect of facing Leeds United at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon.

The bigger picture also serves to underline the difficulties that Oxford United have faced in the Championship this season as The U's have registered just one win from their last 15 matches overall in the English second tier, whilst also being dealt eight defeats as well.

Results away from home are on track to be even worse as Oxford United have still not gained a win on their travels so far in this campaign having lost seven out of their nine outings on the road to date and to make matters worse, The U's have conceded two goals or more in seven of these nine away games as well.
