Stevenage form and stats

Stevenage's results here at The Lamex Stadium in the League Two have been very modest with 2 victories, 5 draws and 6 defeats. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts.

E. List was the last player to score a league goal for Stevenage and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Stevenage haven't scored in 300 minutes.

Stevenage's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Port Vale (placed 10th). Before that match, a EFL Trophy win away at Bristol Rovers.

This is expected to be a close game, with Stevenage perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Stevenage as a small favourite), we find nine games. Stevenage has won 3 of these, drawn 4 and lost 2.

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

Stevenage have scored 9 league goals here from 13 matches, not a lot. Stevenage have conceded 16 in these home matches.

Oldham Athletic form and stats

Oldham Athletic are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Macclesfield Town (placed 22nd). Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Cheltenham Town's place.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Oldham Athletic playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were 0 Oldham Athletic wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Oldham Athletic are hosting Carlisle United in the League Two only four days away.
