Rovers to punish struggling Oldham

Forest Green are top of the league and are flying with a six-point advantage and a game in hand. Rovers have won each of their last four matches, including each of their last two away from home in the league and three in succession on the road in all competitions. They haven’t lost in the league since the 9th of October and have won five of their last six matches. Each of those five victories have been by two goals or more.

Meanwhile, Oldham suffered a damaging loss on Tuesday night as they went down to a 90th minute Tranmere goal at Boundary Park. They are back on their home patch but that doesn’t exactly give them an advantage. The hosts are the worst team in the league playing at home, taking just seven points from their 10 matches. They have lost four of their last five league games including each of their last three and are averaging just 0.8 goals per game.

Hosts to win comfortably

Forest Green are unbeaten on the road this season and have taken more points away from home than any other side (24) as they race to the title. Each of their last four wins have all come by two goals or more and they should have no trouble seeing off a toothless Oldham attack. Oldham have conceded 1.7 goals per game as hosts so I’m going for a Forest Green 2-0 win in the correct score market.
