Oldham Athletic form and stats

The last season was not a pleasant experience for Oldham Athletic as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 9 victories from 46 games, relegation was a fact. Oldham's manager Sheridan are hoping to lead the team right back to League Two at the first attempt.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 5 similar matches played by Oldham Athletic in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Oldham Athletic, 3 draws and 1 defeat.

It's a day of discovery for Oldham Athletic as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Oldham Athletic have played six with the results W1-D1-L4 (win-draw-lost). In these games Oldham Athletic has scored 4 goals and conceded 11 times.
