Match Preview: Oxford United (H)

Oxford Match Preview

Exeter City's attentions switch to cup action and the final group match of the Jersey Mike's Trophy on Tuesday night as we host Oxford United in a 7pm kick-off.

City have been in good form in the competition so far, picking up four points from two games, having beaten Spurs U21 2-0 and drawing 2-2 with Cheltenham Town.

The Grecians will be looking to build on Saturday's fine 1-0 win over Rotherham Town.

The competition is a fantastic opportunity to watch a blend of the first team and some of City's young stars!

Ticket prices have been slashed for the cup clash, with the Nevada Construction Main Stand open. Adults can watch from just £12, with Seniors and 18-23s priced from £10 and U18s from £7.

Kick-off at St James Park is at 7pm, with supporters encouraged to bring their friends, family and City colours and get behind the Grecians from the first whistle as always!

Group Standings

The match is City's final group match and a win would give the Grecians a strong chance of qualifying.

The match is actually Oxford's first in the competition, with Cheltenham and Spurs U21 having only played one game each so far.

Previous Encounter

Exeter City 3 Oxford United 1 | January 11, 2025 | Emirates Fa Cup

For the first time in 44 years, Exeter City secured their spot in the fourth round of the FA Cup with a confident 3-1 win against Championship Oxford United.

The Grecians found themselves a goal down early on, but Demetri Mitchell brought the game back level in the 22nd minute when he volleyed home Vincent Harper's cross at the back post.

Exeter built well after that equaliser, and took the lead six minutes before the break through Mitchell again, who finished first time from the edge of the box for his fourth goal in four games. 

Vincent Harper completed the victory with a well-taken finish midway through the second half before Oxford had a man sent off for an elbow on Jake Richards 10 minutes from time.
