Oldham Athletic and Cheltenham Town meet so often that they count as a pair who know each other's game well, especially their last meeting when Oldham Athletic beat them at home 2-1, and before that they went away and thrashed Cheltenham Town 3-0 on their own patch. This time, though, the picture is different, because neither side has won back-to-back in the league of late. The hosts sit at the bottom of the table with form that has not yet settled, their defence leaking to the tune of 13 goals conceded in 9 matches, but there are encouraging signs from their latest outing, a home win. Cheltenham Town sit 8th with more points, but they have not won in 3 straight, their attack is serviceable enough yet their defence still opens gaps for opponents to hit the target more than they manage themselves. This game looks likely to be one where Oldham Athletic see more of the ball and push the game up to press at their own ground. If the hosts score first, Cheltenham Town, who are labouring, will have to open up and trade blows, and that is the moment Oldham Athletic should seize to add more goals.
