Oldham Athletic form and stats

The home fans saw their team lose the first game of the season here at Boundary Park. Last season these fans witnessed 10 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses from Oldham Athletic's 23 home games. Oldham Athletic has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager L. Banide and the players.

The fans are hoping that Oldham Athletic will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the League Two game against Bradford City. Prior to that, an away loss at Blackburn Rovers in the Carabao Cup.

This is expected to be a close game, with Oldham Athletic perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Oldham Athletic as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Oldham Athletic has won 2 of these, drawn 4 and lost 5.

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

At Boundary Park, Oldham Athletic has the goal stats of 1-2 (for/against) from 1 fixture.

Exeter City form and stats

Only one away game so far for Exeter City and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 7 victories, 10 draws and 6 losses from 23 travels.

Exeter City delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Swindon Town in their previous match; a League Two game. It was a Carabao Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Coventry City wasn't a success with a 1-4 loss.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by Exeter City in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Exeter City, 4 draws and 6 defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Exeter City now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League Two game at Morecambe is waiting in only four days.

It's early days yet, but Exeter City has scored 1 and conceded 0 goals from their travels so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last eight matches): Oldham Athletic 1 win, 3 draws and Exeter City 4 victories. As for goals, 2 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 6 games had two or less.
