Oxford rejoined the playoff race at the end of the season. The mood in the team could not be better because with a great game and a 6-0 away win against Crewe, they certainly showed that they did not give up the race. They have 4 points less than the first closest rival and today's game will significantly determine the further course of the competition. They played the playoff finals last year and really lost unhappily to Wycombe, a goal from the penalty spot in the 80th minute. This year they occupy a slightly lower position in the table and as one of the main reasons we can mention a slightly worse game at home against the first 6 teams in the table. But when you look at the results against the teams from 15th place down, where Shrewsbury is currently located, they are extremely good. In 6 games played against those teams, they have 5 wins and only one draw. The motivation of the players will also play a big role in today's match.

The guest is at a safe enough distance from the danger zone, and the chances of reaching the playoffs are minimal. They come to visit Oxford after a difficult visit to Gillingham, where they played a goalless match. Unlike the hosts, they are considered a team that plays very closed football and during the season they score an average of one goal on the away fields. Their coach said before the match that today's match will be extremely different from the match against Gillingham due to the different style that the teams have.

I expect a tough match tonight, but taking into account the mood and motivation of the players of both teams, I have to give preference to the host and I believe that they can achieve a very important victory.

牛津在赛季结束时重新加入了季后赛。球队的情绪好得不能再好了，因为一场精彩的比赛和客场6-0战胜克鲁的比赛，他们显然表明了他们没有放弃比赛。他们比第一个接近的对手少了4分，今天的比赛将决定比赛的走向。他们参加了去年的决赛，但是很不高兴的输给了维康比，在第80分钟从一个点球进了一个球。今年他们在积分榜上的位置稍低，我们可以提到主场对阵积分榜前6名的比赛稍差的主要原因之一。但是当你看看和位于第15名之后的球队的比赛结果，也就是什鲁斯伯里现在的位置，他们非常出色。在与这些球队的6场比赛中，他们5胜1平。在今天的比赛中，球员的积极性也将发挥很大的作用。

客人离危险区域有足够的安全距离，进入季后赛的机会极小。在Gillingham打了一场0:0的比赛之后，他们又来到了牛津。与东道主不同的是，他们被认为是一支非常封闭的球队，在赛季中，他们在客场平均进一个球。他们的教练赛前说，今天的比赛将会和对吉林厄姆的比赛有很大的不同，因为两支球队的风格不同。

我期待今晚的比赛会很艰苦，但是考虑到两队球员的情绪和动机，我不得不把优先权放在东道主身上，我相信他们能取得非常重要的胜利。
