OTHER STATS
Crewe and Oxford went for 30 years without playing each other, between 1964 and 1994. The two then met in 4 seasons throughout the 1990s before Oxford’s steady decline meant they were not to meet again until Oxfords return to the Football League in the 2010/2011 season.
The last time Oxford won at Crewe was in 1996. A 1-2 victory kept up Oxfords push for automatic promotion.
Collective bookmaker’s odds make Crewe marginal favourites to win on 37.5%, with Oxford’s chance of winning at 35%.
Crewe and Oxford have endured different starts to the season. Crewe have struggled, collecting 1 win from 5 attempts, and are laying 22nd. Oxford are unbeaten in the league since their opening day defeat, collecting 2 wins and 2 draws. Currently in 9th, they will be eyeing an early berth in the play off places.
