The Championship seems so open this year that it is difficult to label this as a pure “six-pointer”, because so many teams could find themselves near the bottom at different times of the season.

However, fans of both of these clubs would probably settle for avoiding the scrap at this stage, so a result in this match against a relegation rival would go a long way.

📈 Oxford United v Derby Form & Stats

Oxford have won only once in the league so far this season, an impressive 3-1 away win at Bristol City. Anyone watching that win would be forgiven for thinking that it was Oxford in the play-off positions, rather than languishing in the bottom three. This is because they have scored only once in the subsequent three league games, drawing 0-0 at QPR in a dour game, and losing their last match 1-2 at Watford.

As hinted at above, their data isn’t too bad. Ranked 14th for expected goals and 17th for shots on target, they are also 14th for touches in the opposition box. They don’t achieve this through possession football though, as they rank 23rd out of 24 for possession, they are also 24th for corners earned, which is interesting from a betting perspective.

Derby have become the masters of the 1-1 draw. They have had five such results in all competitions this season, with all of their last three Championship matches ending 1-1. In truth, their home draws with Charlton and Southampton, Derby edged the performance battle, against Wrexham they were a little more fortunate.

Derby are bottom of the league for expected goals, and 22nd for shots on target, averaging 2.7 per match. They also have the lowest number of touches in the opposition box. Derby are not a high pressing team either, they rank 22nd for balls won in the final third. They do, however, rank third for fouls and are top of the league for yellow cards received.
