Oldham Athletic form and stats

Last season, Oldham Athletic's league statistics were 15 wins, 9 draws and 22 losses, resulting in a 18th position in the League Two. Over these 46 matches they scored 72 goals and conceded 81. Playing at home last season Oldham Athletic managed 6-2-15 (win-draw-lost) with 31 goals and 42 conceded.

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 18 games. Oldham Athletic has won seven of these, drawn three and lost eight.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Oldham as they have a new game in only three days, a Carabao Cup match thankfully also at home. Tranmere Rovers are visiting.

Oldham Athletic have prepared for this season with five friendly games versus mixed opposition. Results from training matches should always be treated with caution, but the takeaways from these five matches are 3 victories, 0 draws and 2 losses. In these games, Oldham Athletic have scored 7 goals and conceded 6 times.

Newport County form and stats

Let's have a look at how Newport County performed last season in the League Two: They landed a 5th position in the league table after playing out 20 victories, 13 draws and 13 defeats. In total they scored 57 and conceded 42 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 7 - drew 8 and lost 8 with 30/25 goals scored/conceded.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Newport County in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Newport, five draws and six defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Newport County manager M. Flynn as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Ipswich Town.

It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Newport County have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 2 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeats from three fixtures.

Head 2 Head

Last six meetings between the teams: Oldham won four, Newport County won two and zero draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.
