The game between Rushden & Diamonds and Oxford United in the (Conference) Premier on Wednesday, 24th March 2010 at 19:45 takes centre stage for FootyMad's preview analysis.
|
Rushden & D. prepare to entertain Oxford United at Nene Park on Wednesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Diamonds are clearly on top, beating their opponents 4 times from 7 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Nene Park was less than a year ago, in March 2009, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a (Conference) Premier match.
