Stevenage B. prepare to entertain Oxford United at Broadhall Way on Tuesday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. Each of the previous meetings has been drawn by the Boro.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Broadhall Way was just last season, in March 2009, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a (Conference) Premier match.
