Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Oldham Athletic & Tranmere Rovers face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Carabao Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Oldham Athletic form and stats
Last season, Oldham's Carabao Cup journey ended in the 2nd round.0-0-1 (win-draw-lost) are the League Two numbers at home for Oldham Athletic so far this season. It's trouble wherever Oldham Athletic are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 219 minutes without scoring a league goal. Z. Dearnley was the last player to find the net.
Oldham's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Newport County. Defender Carl Piergianni got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.21/10. Piergianni hit one key pass and won 12 of 15 duels.
Preceding that match was the home League Two game against Forest Green Rovers that was lost 0-3.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Oldham have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites).

There will be little rest for Oldham after this match as they are travelling to Bradford City for a League Two game in only four days.
