Fleetwood Town vs Oldham Predictions

Fleetwood head into Wednesday EFL Trophy clash with Oldham on the back of a 2-0 win away in the FA Cup against Barnet, while their guests also progressed through to the next round of the oldest club competition in the world courtesy of a 2-1 win at Gateshead.

All of the stats point towards Fleetwood securing the win they need to progress through to the knockout stage of the EFL Trophy and we’ve backed the hosts to claim a 2-1 victory.

Fleetwood play in a division above their guests and are battling for promotion to the Championship this season, while Oldham look set for a relegation fight that could end in their status as a league club coming to an end.

A win for Fleetwood would see them progress to the next round and the hosts have won six of their eight home games this season, scoring over 1.75 goals per game. Oldham have lost four of their eight away games this season, winning just once, and concede an average of over 2 goals per game and score under 0.8 goals per game, so you can see why we’re backing a 2-1 win for Fleetwood on Wednesday.

The form of the two teams heading into Wednesday nights’ clash only adds weight to our prediction for a home win, as Fleetwood have won three of their last five matches in all competitions and Oldham have only won one of their last six away games in league and cup. Both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in three of Fleetwood’s last five and three of Oldham’s last six matches, which is another reason we have backed a 2-1 win for the hosts.

We’re confident that League One Fleetwood will beat League Two Oldham on Wednesday night and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. The hosts head into the game as the form favourites and have won two of their last four meetings against their guests. Fleetwood are flying high in League One but are likely to make changes to their starting eleven, while Oldham are struggling in League Two and aren’t expected to make as many changes which is why we can see this game being settled by the odd goal.
