Bristol City are unbeaten in their last five league games against Oxford United (W2 D3) since losing 3-0 in October 1999.
Oxford have lost one of their last eight away league visits to Bristol City (W2 D5) though that defeat was last season in a 2-1 defeat.
Bristol City are enjoying their best start to a league season (11 points in 5 games) since winning 13 in their opening five games in 2020-21, though they went onto finish 19th that campaign.
Oxford were unbeaten in their first nine league games under Gary Rowett but they’ve since won four of their last 21 matches (D6 L11). Since the date of this 21-game run (4 February), the only ever-present side to win fewer points than the U’s (18) is Sheffield Wednesday (17).
Bristol City’s Anis Mehmeti has both scored and assisted in each of his last two Championship appearances – he had only achieved this once in his first 129 games in the competition beforehand.
