Our pre-match preview

Expect a cup tie played at a steady tempo, with both sides trying to control possession through the middle third rather than rushing forward. Set pieces and wide delivery are likely to be a meaningful part of how chances are created.

The key battle is likely to be between Oxford's midfield and Stevenage's ability to win the ball back and transition quickly. Whoever wins that phase of play will probably dictate how many clear chances appear in the second half.
