Premium Tips
Andy leans towards Stevenage, whose home advantage should count in a close game.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Stevenage to win and under 2.5 goals | 4/1 | Stevenage have home advantage against an Oxford side still restricted by an EFL-imposed transfer embargo, limiting their ability to strengthen a squad that needed a stoppage-time equaliser just to draw with MK Dons. Both teams have shown clear low-scoring tendencies to open the campaign: the Under 2.5 line has landed in six of Stevenage’s last six matches and seven of Oxford’s last ten, a strong shared trend. While the head-to-head record favours Oxford historically, Alex Revell’s side sit just outside the play-off picture and should have enough control at home to edge a tight, tactical contest without either side finding the net freely. |
| Olly Sanderson to score anytime and Mark Harris over 0.5 shots on target | 5/1 | Sanderson has made an instant impact, scoring within six minutes of coming on in the opening-day draw at Burton. Mark Harris leads Oxford’s attack and is in good scoring form himself, netting in the 2-2 draw with MK Dons and finding the net twice in his last nine league appearances. He’s generating consistent shot volume in Oxford’s leading striker role, making the shots-on-target line a reasonably comfortable ask given his workload and set-piece involvement. |

How Stevenage go into the game
Stevenage opened with a 1-1 draw at Burton, a typically gritty away point. The Lamex Stadium is a difficult venue and they will fancy their chances of a first home win.
Physical, organised and hard to beat, Stevenage make life awkward for every visitor. That approach could unsettle an Oxford side still finding their feet in League One.
How Oxford United go into the game
Oxford began life back in League One with a 2-2 home draw against MK Dons, an entertaining but ultimately frustrating result. Adjusting to the division’s physicality is their early challenge.
The U’s have quality in their ranks but a trip to Stevenage is a stern test of their resolve. They will need to match the hosts’ intensity to take something home.
