Oldham vs Bristol Rovers Prediction and Betting Tips 17 February 2026

Oldham Athletic will look to return to winning ways in League Two when they take on Bristol Rovers on Tuesday evening. The two teams, though, seem to be evenly matched and we predict a 1-1 draw. The Bantams may have to do so without veteran forward Joe Garner, who is unlikely to feature after picking up a knock in the 1-1 draw with Fleetwood. Oldham’s home numbers offer some encouragement: they average 1.60 points per game at Boundary Park, scoring 1.40 goals per match and seeing BTTS land in 80% of their home fixtures. However, defensive issues persist, with no clean sheets at home and an xGA of 1.50.

Bristol Rovers arrive on the back of a 3-1 defeat at Cambridge United and will be without suspended midfielder Jack Sparkes. Their away record is inconsistent, returning 0.75 PPG and scoring just 1.00 goal per game on their travels. Still, the Pirates keep 25% clean sheets away and have a slightly stronger defensive xGA of 1.26.

As Oldham home BTTS is very high (80%), we are tempted to bet on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 1.5 goals and Draw (small stake).

This League 2 match will be played on Tuesday 17 February 2026 at 19:45.
