Venue (City, Stadium) | Boundary Park |
Oldham vs Crawley at Boundary Park on Saturday pits a struggling home side against the League Two basement club, and neither can afford another stumble.
Micky Mellon's Oldham sit 20th in the table. With the pressure building, this has a distinctly must-win feel for the hosts in front of their own supporters.
Crawley are rock bottom and six points adrift of safety. Interim boss Kevin Blackwell opened his spell with a draw against Tranmere Rovers, which is progress of a sort.
History is on Oldham's side. They are undefeated in their last five matches against Crawley in all competitions, and Crawley arrive with little to suggest that run ends here.
Oldham vs Crawley Form
Oldham have won just one of their last nine League Two outings, which tells you plenty. Last weekend did offer something, as they took advantage of Isiah Noel-Williams' red card to come from behind and draw with title contenders Barnet in London. Calum Kavanagh is the man to watch, having attempted 3+ shots in each of his last three League Two appearances.
Crawley have failed to win their last nine League Two matches, and the table does not lie about how fragile they look. They do have a habit of coming back from losing positions, though. Dylan Morgan is their bright spot, scoring in each of his last four League Two appearances.

Best Bets
Oldham to beat Crawley in the Win Market. The hosts are the model's favourite at Boundary Park. Top of our Oldham vs Crawley best bets is the home win, with Oldham undefeated in their last five against Crawley in all competitions.

Both Teams To Score: Yes. Both sides are expected to find the net. The projections give both teams to score a 60.69% probability, and the football backs it up. Oldham are suspect against counter attacks, while Crawley are error-prone and soft at set pieces, so goals at both ends look the sensible call.
