Barnet and Oldham Athletic meet in League Two tonight, with the hosts sitting 2nd and pushing for the top of the table, while the visitors are 21st and need points to escape the lower reaches. Both sides' most recent matches ended badly: Barnet lost 1-3, while Oldham lost 0-3. Barnet remain the best attacking side in the upper group of the table, scoring 23 goals from 10 matches, but their defence has started to show clear cracks in recent games. Oldham, despite a heavy defeat last time out, had a match not long ago in which they scored as many as 4 goals at home. Their pattern is to sit deep and wait for the counter, which means the defence has to absorb pressure throughout the match. This game is likely to take the shape of Barnet dominating possession and attacking, while Oldham drop back to defend and wait for counter-attacking moments. If Oldham cope with the early pressure and do not concede first, the game will open up chances for them to have less of the ball but pose a dangerous counter threat, and there is a high chance the match ends close or Oldham come away with a result.
