Oldham vs Southend Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

These two teams come into this fixture in reasonably decent form, although it is Southend who’re enjoying the much better campaign and they look have another good opportunity to pick up a positive result here.

Oldham haven’t exactly been the easiest side to beat this season, but they’ve really struggled going forward and, even though they play in front of a home crowd here, it’s hard to see them beating this Southend side. With this in mind, ‘Southend Draw No Bet’ is the bet to go for here.

The visitors come into this match off the back of a pleasing victory last weekend and are likely to be confident of continuing in the same vein. Having secured a decent point at Walsall, Southend scored four in beating Bury away from home and come here unbeaten in two on the road, while they’re now unbeaten in five overall in the league.

Oldham may have won last time out, but they’ve struggled to get going at home, scoring in just two of their nine fixtures in front of a home crowd. These stats are a real cause for concern and, against a decent Southend side, if they’re forward play lacks impotence (which it often has) then they could really struggle.

There’s plenty to like about the visitors right now, they’re good going forward and are capable of keeping things relatively tight at the back (which is all that might be needed against a lack-lustre Oldham forward-line). Overall, it’s hard to see them walking away without at least a draw here.
