Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Forest Green
Match Time & Date:
02/01/2021
10:00 AM
Prediction: 2-1
Oldham
Forest Green will be aiming to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Crawley Town when they host Oldham Athletic at the New Lawn on Matchday 22. The Green Army are eager to retain their spot in top three, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Latics. Teenage attacker Jake Young, who found the net in the 2-1 defeat to Crawley, is pushing for a tart.
Oldham, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Grimsby. The Latics aim to move a little closer to the playoffs berth, but given Forest Green’s home record, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Greater Manchester empty-handed. In their last meeting at The New Lawn Forest Green defeated Oldham 1-0, with Allen scoring the only goal of the match.

Highlighted Team (Oldham):
Based in Oldham, Greater Manchester, Oldham Athletic are a professional football club that compete in League Two. The Latics play their home matches at Boundary Park, the venue with the capacity of 13,512 spectators. Oldham Athletic are well known for their blue and white home kit, with the owl being the symbol of the club.
The Latics did remarkably well to make it to the League Cup final in 1990, but Nottingham Forest proved to be a big catch for Joe Royle’s troops in the title game. Oldham made it to the FA Cup semis on three occasions (1912/13, 1989/90, 1993/94), and in 1979 they advanced to the Anglo-Scottish Cup final. The Latics registered their biggest league triumph on December 26, 1962, with the team crushing Southport 11-0 in Division 4.
Speaking of the club’s heaviest defeat, Oldham Athletic were hammered by Tranmere Rovers 14-3 at Prenton Park on December 26, 1935. Bolton, Stockport, and Blackburn are the club’s traditional rivals, but nowadays, Huddersfield Town are seen as the Latics’ fiercest rivals.
