Oxford United U18s start 2025 with an away visit to Exeter City in the EFL Youth Alliance South Division.

The young U’s make the long trip down to Exeter this Saturday as they look to take their league form into 2025 . With just one loss in their last six league games, the U’s sit fifth in the league with games in hand on the teams above them. 

Despite having a break over Christmas, the side will still be confident after their last outing, beating local rivals Swindon Town 3-0.

The Grecians come into this one looking to improve in the league after a poor first half of the season, finding themselves sitting rock bottom with just one win in their opening 12 league games. There will be a bit of a spark in the squad at the moment as they look to continue their FA Youth Cup campaign, facing Fulham in the fourth round on Thursday 16 January.

The game will be played at 11:30 at Cliff Hill Training Ground and is a good curtain raiser for anyone travelling down to support the first team at St James Park.
