Oldham to Win

Reason for tip

Oldham look the best bet at home to Salford. They have won five of their last six at home and are unbeaten in seven there, while also keeping five clean sheets in the last six at their ground. Salford are struggling away, losing their last two road trips and five of the last seven, so Oldham’s home strength and defensive solidity give them the edge.

Oldham 2-0

Reason for tip

Oldham 2-0 is the correct-score pick. Their home defence has been excellent, conceding only 16 goals in 21 matches and regularly keeping clean sheets, so a Salford blank is plausible. Recent head-to-heads also point towards low scoring, with under 2.5 landing in four of the last six meetings. Salford’s away form is poor and their defence has looked shaky too, so Oldham can score twice and see it out.

Oldham can shut out Salford at home

Oldham have enjoyed success in five of their last six home games in League Two and they are worth backing to beat Salford on Saturday.

Salford are sixth in League Two, five places above Oldham, with both teams having won more games than they’ve lost this season. Salford have won 23 and Oldham 17 of their 43 games, while the hosts have lost 12 and the visitors 15.

Oldham look solid in defence this season, having kept clean sheets in five of their last six home games in League Two. They have been impressive at the back overall, conceding just 16 goals in 21 home games – an average of 0.76 goals per game.

Their recent results inspire confidence. They have lost just one of their last ten home games in League Two and are currently on a seven-game unbeaten run at home.

It has been profitable backing Oldham at odds-on this season. Backing them when they have been favourites would have resulted in a 2.42-unit profit, with 13 wins from 25 such games.

Salford’s recent results do not inspire confidence, with defeats on their last two League Two road trips and five losses in the last seven away games.

The visitors’ defence has shown signs of vulnerability, with Salford failing to keep a clean sheet in four of their last six League Two games.

A 2-0 home win for Oldham looks the best correct-score bet. Four of the last six League Two meetings between these sides have finished with under 2.5 goals, and both teams often lose or win by a two-goal margin.
