League Two tonight, 5th-placed Walsall host 19th-placed Oldham Athletic, with the hosts still unbeaten in the league this season, while the visitors won 4-1 in the league last time out and are on a two-match winning run. Walsall have drawn four of their last five in all competitions, but their defence can still be trusted, conceding only 7 goals in 10 league games, while Oldham Athletic have scored a similar 13 goals but conceded 14, so scores often come out as exchanges, like the 4-2 win in the cup or the 1-4 loss in the league. In Walsall's home games, the first half has produced 5 goals in 8 matches, and the team usually dominates possession more than their opponents. If Oldham Athletic still push high like last time, the game could open up into an exchange from the start, but if the hosts score first, they should control the tempo even more and force the visitors to take more risks.
