Oldham host Cheltenham to Boundary Park in what could be an interesting League Two clash. As Oldham do not seem to be at their sharpest, we predict a 2-1 away win. The Latics have been inconsistent, sitting 15th, with a mix of draws and wins in recent games. At home, they’ve averaged 2.0 goals per game and conceded 0.6, keeping clean sheets in 40% of matches. Injury concerns persist with Conlon and Hawkes sidelined, while forward Jack Stevens is a major doubt after missing the 1-1 draw with Chesterfield.
Cheltenham, 18th, head into Saturday's game having won 50% of their outings recently and boast a slightly higher scoring output, averaging 3.2 goals per game overall and 2.75 on the road, while conceding 1.5 per match. Defender Sam Sherring is likely to miss again after missing the FA Cup tie against Leicester. Head-to-head shows a fairly even record, with Oldham winning 3 of 7 encounters, and 86% of past meetings seeing over 1.5 goals.
Given Cheltenham's better overall form and attacking edge, Away Win should be considered. Additionally, Over 1.5 goals market seems tempting as 2 or more goals have been netted in 86% of their previous H2H encounters.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 17 January 2026 at 15:00.
