With their 7 point advantage in the league table, Oldham Athletic fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Bradford City.
- Oldham Athletic has the fewest clean sheets (0) in League Two
- Bradford City have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their away matches.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a EFL Trophy match only four days ago. This match was also played here at Boundary Park. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Bradford City have had more rest.
Oldham Athletic form and stats
Oldham Athletic's struggle is real here at Boundary Park with only 4 points collected from 8 League Two games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-1-6. Oldham Athletic are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Boundary Park, having lost their two previous games here.
The Oldham crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Sunderland here at Boundary Park in a EFL Trophy match. A strong away win before that one, visiting Cambridge United and winning 2-1.
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). Our database has found 17 matches with the results: Won five, drawn six and lost six.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Oldham as they have a new game in only three days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Walsall are visiting.
Oldham has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
Bradford City form and stats
Bradford City have only collected 4 points from their away games in the League Two, after 1-1-4 (6 played). Bitter travels for Bradford as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Mansfield Town match. With the Bradford losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Bradford's previous game was their home loss versus Carlisle United (0-1). The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Cheltenham Town.
It's a bit worrying for Bradford that their goalkeeper Richard O'Donnell made eight saves in the Carlisle United game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eleven similar matches played by Bradford City in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Bradford, two draws and seven defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Bradford manager S. McCall as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Crawley Town.
The visitors have scored 5 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Bradford City have conceded 9 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
