The visiting Carlisle United side should be favourites in this visit to Oldham Athletic, as the away team holds a 8 point advantage from their six league games this season.
It's no vacation for neither Oldham nor Carlisle United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Oldham Athletic form and stats
Three League Two home games done for Oldham Athletic, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches. Three consecutive losses here at Boundary Park is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
A strong away win for Oldham Athletic against Bolton Wanderers the last match, as Ben Garrity and Zachary Dearnley were on target. Before that game, the home loss against Morecambe with the scoreline 2-3.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of H. Kewell when Zachary Dearnley scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 85th minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when Zachary Dearnley scored the winning goal five minutes into stoppage time.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Oldham, as the League Two home game vs Port Vale is only four days away.
The Oldham Athletic fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Oldham are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (7 from 3 played).
Carlisle United form and stats
Carlisle United are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the League Two, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses).
The supporters enjoyed Carlisle's previous game versus Colchester United (placed 14th), a League Two 3-2 win played at home. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Port Vale at their stadium, the result 1-0.
The schedule is very tough for Carlisle United now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League Two game at Grimsby Town is waiting in only four days.
Carlisle are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. Carlisle have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
