Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Oldham Athletic & AFC Bournemouth face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the FA Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Oldham Athletic form and stats
Oldham have not come this way in the FA Cup without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Bradford City and Hampton & Richmond. Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the 2nd round.With 2 League Two wins, 1 draw and 8 defeats from their home games, Oldham Athletic are certainly not brimming with confidence. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Oldham Athletic, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The home team returns to Boundary Park after being equal after 90 minutes with Forest Green Rovers on their last time out; the League Two game ended 1-1. A 0-0 draw away in the League Two before that, with Grimsby Town the opponent.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League Two game versus Mansfield Town in only four days. This game is also played here at Boundary Park.
Oldham Athletic has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. Oldham have conceded 20 from these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
AFC Bournemouth form and stats
They also participated in FA Cup last season. This ended in the 4th round.4 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of AFC Bournemouth playing as the away team in the Championship this season.
Two travels in a row for AFC Bournemouth, whose manager J. Tindall could celebrate last time after the Championship win against Stoke City. Prior to that match, the Bournemouth manager J. Tindall faced defeat when travelling to Brentford and losing 1-2.
A new game in only three days for AFC Bournemouth, the Championship home match versus Millwall. Busy days.
Bournemouth have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 12 league away games 17 goals have been scored. It's not easy to score on Bournemouth as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
