Northampton Town VS Oldham Athletic

Sitting right on the edge of the EFL League Two relegation zone, both sides are desperate to pick up points to pull clear of the drop spots. Northampton Town, ranked 20th with 14 points from 12 outings, has posted unremarkable points returns at home, with fairly average attacking and defensive outputs and wildly inconsistent recent form. Their visitors Oldham Athletic sit one spot lower in 21st, holding just 12 points from 13 matches. The side has looked far from competitive on the road this term, with plenty of obvious gaps in their defensive line that opponents have exploited easily. Looking at their head-to-head record, Oldham claimed a 3-1 win over Northampton in their most recent FA Cup meeting last year, but Northampton has the upper hand in past league fixtures. The two sides are fairly evenly matched overall, with a large share of their past encounters ending in draws.
