- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.

- 28' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Oxford United FC that had 366 games and scored 485 goals.
- 33' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Stanley Mills suffering a number of foals already.
