This League Two fixture is a game between two teams struggling near the bottom of the table. Oldham Athletic sit 20th, while Crawley Town are bottom. Both need points to escape the danger zone, and Oldham's latest match ended in a 1-1 draw, while Crawley also drew 1-1. Oldham Athletic return home with a record of 14 scored and 18 conceded from 12 matches. Their attack is decent but their defence is leaky, especially late in games where they concede often. Crawley Town, meanwhile, have scored 12 and conceded 21 from 11 matches. Their defence is a major problem, but their attack still creates chances consistently, and from the numbers over the last 10 matches, the visitors clearly have more shots on target than the hosts (5.4 per game compared to 4.33), even though they also allow more shots on target. This game should be open and end-to-end because both teams need points, and neither defence is strong enough to keep a clean sheet throughout. Crawley Town have a chance to score from counter-attacks and have slightly higher possession ability, while Oldham Athletic must be wary of the late stages where they often concede easily. The game is likely to end closely contested with several goals, and the away side have a chance to take points home if they don't fall behind early.
