Stevenage form and stats

The home team returns to The Lamex Stadium after being equal after 90 minutes with Barrow (placed 10th) on their last time out; the League Two game ended 1-1. In the match before that, Stevenage hosted Portsmouth (after extra-time, 1-3 on penalties) and drew the Carabao Cup game 3-3.

Inih Effiong was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Barrow after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

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 Stevenage have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won three, drawn four and lost two.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Stevenage, as the EFL Trophy home game vs Southampton U21 is only three days away.

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

A quick return to home after this game, as Oldham are hosting Wolves U21 in the EFL Trophy only three days away.
