Greater Manchester neighbours collide at Boundary Park as Oldham host Salford City, two grounds barely five and a half miles apart, in a League Two clash with real edge to it.
Oldham sit 16th and arrive on a rough patch, beaten in each of their last three League Two outings without finding the net once. Confidence in the engine room needs rebuilding fast.
Salford, by contrast, are ticking along nicely in 12th, having banked 10 points from their last four league matches. Their momentum makes them a stubborn proposition on the road.
The recent record is one-sided too. Salford City have won each of their last four meetings with Oldham in all competitions, winning at both half time and full time in every one of them.
Oldham vs Salford City Fc Form
Oldham have lost their last three League Two matches, conceding at least two goals in each and losing at both half time and full time throughout. There was some cheer in midweek, mind, as Noah Chilvers' 46th-minute goal beat Fleetwood Town 1-0 in the EFL Trophy at Boundary Park, where Mat Hudson kept a clean sheet. Creating chances is a strength, but the finishing has dried up.
Salford have taken 10 points from their last four League Two games, beating Swindon Town 1-0 last time out through midfielder Joe Powell. Powell is firing, having scored in each of his last three League Two appearances. A midweek EFL Trophy loss to Sheffield Wednesday aside, the Ammies are a side full of belief and sit seventh in the form table.

Oldham have escaped the international break unscathed, with Jack Stevens their only injury concern heading into gameweek eight. Noah Chilvers is pushing for a start after catching the eye in the EFL Trophy in midweek, and could slot in behind the striker.
Salford City Fc
Salford welcome Abraham Odoh back after he served his suspension, a useful boost out wide. Brandon Wiredu is a doubt, while Elliot Bonds, Nathan Asiimwe and Kallum Cesay are all away on international duty and miss out.

Oldham vs Salford City Fc Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: This one is finely poised, with the hosts marginal favourites at 6/4 with AK Bets. Oldham's home edge counts for something, but Salford's momentum and their recent hold over this fixture make them dangerous. We are leaning towards goals, with both teams to score priced at 4/6 with Bet365. Expect a tight, competitive affair that could tilt either way.
Best Bets
Back Oliver Turton to register at least one shot in the Player Shots market. Turton carries an exceptional projected probability to record at least one shot from wing-back, and the model rates that well ahead of the bookmakers' implied probability, marking it out as a strong value angle.
Back Abraham Odoh to register a goal or an assist in the To Score Or Assist market. Fresh back from suspension and set to start wide, Odoh looks a live threat in a game projected for 2.68 goals with both teams finding the net, and the numbers point to healthy value on his involvement.
Oldham vs Salford City Fc Bet Builder
Our four-leg bet builder leans on Salford's attacking threat and Calum Kavanagh's shooting, pairing Kavanagh shots and a shot on target with a Luke Molyneux assist and Over 1.5 away goals.
Calum Kavanagh Over 0.5 shots on target is the anchor, with the forward hitting 1+ shots on target in four of his last five League Two appearances.
Luke Molyneux to register an assist looks a sound add, the winger having provided assists in two of his last three League Two outings.
Kavanagh Over 2.5 shots doubles down on his output, the striker having cleared 2.5 shots in three of his last five matches.
Over 1.5 away goals completes it, with Oldham shipping 2+ in each of their last three and Salford scoring 2+ in four of six meetings with them.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 11/1 and is as short as 8.51/1 elsewhere.

Oldham vs Salford City Fc Talking Points
The story here is momentum meeting misery. Salford lost their first three league matches at the start of the campaign before turning it around with a four-game unbeaten run that has hauled them to within a point of the play-off places. Oldham, meanwhile, are in freefall in the league, beaten three on the spin and yet to score in any of them. The head-to-head only sharpens Salford's edge, given they have won the last four meetings between these sides in all competitions. Oldham do at least create plenty, and the EFL Trophy win over Fleetwood offered a reminder of what they can do, but they need their forwards firing again fast to halt the slide against a confident visiting side.
