Oldham vs Swindon Match Summary
Competition | English League Two |

Match Date | Saturday 29 August 2026 |
Match Time | 15:00 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Boundary Park, Oldham |
Oldham host Swindon at Boundary Park on Saturday 29 August 2026, a League Two fixture that pits a home side chasing back-to-back wins against in-form visitors. Our Oldham vs Swindon prediction follows below.
Oldham arrive off the back of a costly red card at Colchester, but Micky Mellon has since confirmed his squad is braced for a three-game week starting here.
Swindon come into this one on the up after a home victory over Cheltenham Town, and they have bolstered the engine room with the signing of midfielder Jack Thomson from Kilmarnock.
The recent head-to-head makes uncomfortable reading for the hosts, with Swindon winning their last five meetings against Oldham in all competitions.
Oldham vs Swindon Form
Oldham were beaten 2-1 away at Colchester United on 22 August, with Gus Scott-Morriss sent off in that defeat, though the sting was eased by an earlier home win over Port Vale. Goals have flowed, with over 2.5 landing in five of their last six League Two outings. Mike Fondop leads the line as their central threat.
Swindon look the sharper of the two, winning 2-1 at home to Cheltenham Town on 22 August thanks to Aaron Drinan and Ollie Clarke. That is form worth respecting, with over 2.5 goals landing in six of their last seven League Two games. Drinan, the club's central forward, remains the man to watch up top.

Oldham vs Swindon Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: This has the makings of an open, goal-filled afternoon. Oldham are marginal favourites at home and are backed to edge it, with our projected scoreline 2-1 to the hosts. Oldham to win with 19/20 (William Hill) is the play for those siding with the home side.
Best Bets
Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The numbers point straight at goals here, with over 2.5 landing in five of Oldham's last six and six of Swindon's last seven League Two games. A projected total of 2.69 goals only strengthens the case.
Both Teams To Score - Yes. There is a shade over 53% attached to both teams scoring, and Swindon have found the net at least twice in each of their last four away trips to Boundary Park. With a 2-1 scoreline projected, both ends look likely to be tested.
Oldham vs Swindon Bet Builder
Our three-leg bet builder backs Oldham to win, Mike Fondop-Talom to score anytime and both teams to find the net in what shapes up as an open contest at Boundary Park.
Oldham start as marginal favourites at home, having already claimed a win over Port Vale at Boundary Park this season and looking to put a difficult week firmly behind them.
Mike Fondop-Talom starts as Oldham's central forward and the focal point of the attack, making him the natural pick to get on the scoresheet.
Both teams to score is well supported, with over 2.5 goals landing in five of Oldham's last six and six of Swindon's last seven League Two games.
Swindon back that up on the road too, having scored at least twice in each of their last four away meetings with Oldham, so goals at both ends look on the cards.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 11/2 and is as short as 19/4 elsewhere. That's a difference in potential winnings of £8 from best to worst price.

Oldham vs Swindon Talking Points
The big theme for the hosts is squad management, with Micky Mellon openly discussing how he handles a demanding run of three League Two fixtures in seven days that begins here. That balancing act matters when Scott-Morriss is suspended and Lewis Temple is set to slot into the back line, forcing a reshuffle against a Swindon side who have won their last five meetings with Oldham in all competitions. If the hosts are to end that run, they will need Fondop firing and their leaky recent defensive habits tightened up.
