Peterborough vs Oldham Predictions

Peterborough’s up and down season has continued in recent weeks. Grant McCann’s team continue to shoot themselves in the foot by defending poorly and it’s now pretty clear that their chance of a place in play-offs is gone. Having lead twice against Chesterfield during the week, the Posh threw it away and are certainly not a team who can be backed with confidence, that’s for sure. On the other hand, Oldham continued to go quietly about their business when securing a 2-1 victory over play-off chasing Oxford in the week and could easily do well here.

Against a home side who really do like to come on strong and leave plenty of space in behind, Oldham, with their organised, defensive nature, could really be suited to this game. At the prices, the hosts simply have to be opposed. ‘Oldham Draw No Bet’ is the way to go.

Since the turn of the year, John Sheridan’s Oldham have been particularly solid. They’ve hauled themselves out of the relegation zone and are proving themselves to be a tough team to beat. The visitors have lost just once in their last eight, and even that was a match where they had two players sent off. In their last five, they’ve kept two clean sheets and have conceded just four goals. It’s fair to say that defensively, John Sheridan has his men very well organised.

Peterborough are a side who like to be involved in open, attacking matches but they’re unlikely to get this against Oldham. The visitors will look to frustrate before hitting on the counter. Considering how often this tactic bears fruit against Peterborough, Oldham could really be in luck here.

In keeping recent clean sheets against the likes of Bury and Millwall, Oldham have continued to prove that they’re a side who can keep teams out. If they can do so against a Peterborough side who’ve been floundering somewhat, then it probably won’t take much for them to breakthrough at the other end. After all, the hosts are without a clean sheet in each of their last eight at home.
