Leicester are unbeaten in their last four; Oxford United have taken four points from their last four. The momentum is with the hosts going into this League One tie.
Interestingly, Leicester look better than their results show. The quality of chances they create is worth 1.7 a game, but they're only converting 1.0 goals. They're creating more than the scoreline shows and look due a few more goals.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Leicester create chances worth 1.7 a game (and give up chances worth 1.1), leaving them +0.6 a game on the balance. Oxford United create 1.5 (giving up 1.1) for a balance of +0.4. The chance quality on both sides is remarkably similar. There's nothing to split these two underneath. Leicester should be scoring more. Their chances are worth 1.7 a game but they're only getting 1.0 goals. When the finishing clicks, they'll be a handful.
Leicester average 1.0 goals per game and Oxford United manage 1.5. Combined that's just 2.5. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game. Interestingly, the chances suggest more goals than the headline number. Leicester and Oxford United together create chances worth 3.2 a game. The low figure might be underrating the attacking quality here.
Both teams scoring is the pattern. It happens in 70% of Leicester's home games and 50% of Oxford United's away matches.
Leicester do it the hard way: only 1.0 a game up top, but a mean 0.5 conceded. They're a tough nut to crack: they soak up pressure and hit you on the break. Neither defence inspires confidence. Both sides rarely keep clean sheets. Open, attacking football is on the cards.
In the last 2 meetings: Leicester have won 0, Oxford United 1, with 1 draw. These fixtures average 3.5 goals per game. 2 of the last 2 produced 3+ goals. Recent results: Leicester 1-2 Oxford United, Oxford United 2-2 Leicester.
