The visiting Grimsby Town side should be favourites in this visit to Oldham Athletic, as the away team holds a 6 point advantage from their seven league games this season.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Oldham Athletic form and stats

Oldham Athletic have played three League Two home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

The home team returns to Boundary Park after sharing the points with Plymouth Argyle (placed 8th) on their last time out; the League Two game ended 2-2. Ahead of that match, Oldham Athletic lost 0-1 at home to Colchester United.

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 Athletic have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won 2 Drawn 4 Lost 5.

The manager L. Banide will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Scunthorpe United in only three days.

The lack of attacking qualities in Oldham Athletic means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. On the other hand, Oldham Athletic have conceded 3 goals.

Grimsby Town form and stats

Grimsby Town have six points from their first three away games in the League Two, meaning two victories and a loss.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a League Two home defeat versus Crewe Alexandra with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Scunthorpe United.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Grimsby Town playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were 8 Grimsby Town wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats.

The travelling fans enjoy Grimsby Town's attacking play in away games, having scored 5 goals in 3 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Grimsby Town as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
