Oxford United vs Oldham Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Mid-table Oxford take on a struggling Oldham side on Saturday afternoon – a match that provides the hosts with a good opportunity to kick-on.

In front of a home crowd, Oxford’s form has been more than respectable this season and they will certainly fancy their chances of toppling an Oldham team who’re without a win in five (all-competitions). At odds of 10/3, ‘Oxford to Win & Under 2.5 Goals’ is a particularly eye-catching selection.

On their own patch, Oxford have only been beaten twice this season (both by teams higher than themselves in the table) and have won no less than six times. Four of those wins saw less than three goals hit the net, while four of them also saw the hosts keep a clean sheet – encouraging stats.

A match against Oldham isn’t likely to provide too much of a test for Oxford. The visitors have struggled to score goals with any regularity on the road this season, finding the net just seven times. Four of their losses on the road have also seen them fail to register on the score-sheet.

The hosts come into this match off the back of two decent home wins and they are fancied to make it three on the spin on home soil. Coming out on top of low-scoring games has been a familiar occurrence for Oldham this season and at 10/3, it’s worth betting that we see such an outcome once again on Saturday.
