Oldham arrive in strong shape, six points from their opening three matches after a comfortable 3-0 home win over Swindon, with Micky Mellon returning to a club he once managed.

Fleetwood vs Oldham Form
The Cod Army are unbeaten this season, having conceded just twice across their opening five competitive outings. They took an early lead at Grimsby on 29 August before Will Davies and defender Finley Potter, whose second-half header salvaged the point, earned a 2-2 draw. Fleetwood have drawn five of their last six matches in League Two, so stalemates are becoming a theme.
Oldham are humming, winning two of their opening three league games and keeping clean sheets in both victories. They rounded off a 3-0 win over Swindon on 29 August through Elliott Nevitt, Calum Kavanagh and Mike Fondop. Kavanagh has scored in two of his last three League Two appearances, and Oldham have seen over 2.5 goals in the vast majority of their league outings this term.

Fleetwood vs Oldham Bet Builder
Our three-leg bet builder backs an Oldham win, Mike Fondop-Talom to score anytime and both teams to score in a fixture that promises action at Highbury.
Oldham arrive as favourites here and have won two of their opening three league games, so we are siding with the visitors to edge a lively contest.
Mike Fondop-Talom leads the Oldham attack as their principal goal threat, and he was on the scoresheet in the 3-0 win over Swindon on 29 August.
Both teams to score is well supported, with Fleetwood taking 26+ shots in each of their last three league games and the projection favouring goals at both ends.
That attacking volume from Fleetwood dovetails neatly with Oldham's tendency to give up chances, having conceded in five of their seven most recent League Two matches.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 7/1 and is as short as 13/2 elsewhere. That's a difference in potential winnings of £11 from best to worst price.
