Oldham Athletic form and stats

Oldham Athletic's results here at Boundary Park in the League Two have been very modest with 2 victories, 1 draw and 7 defeats. Oldham has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Benachour and the players.

Oldham's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Tranmere Rovers (placed 10th). Nicky Adams, defender, was given a rating of 8.44/10 in that game, top of the team. Adams hit seven key passes.

Before that match, a EFL Trophy win away at Sunderland.

Oldham has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.

Forest Green Rovers form and stats

Forest Green Rovers have an excellent away record in the League Two so far with 7-3-0 from 10 games. Forest are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played ten in a row without losing.

It's the second away game in a row for Forest, but there's smiles all around after the 4-1 victory versus Harrogate Town (placed 9th) in the League Two last time out. Jack Aitchison, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.44. Aitchison scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Chelsea U21 (after extra-time, 1-4 on penalties) in the EFL Trophy.

Forest Green Rovers have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 22 goals from 10 away matches. It's not easy to score on Forest as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head
