Forest Green
Saturday’s football game at Boundary Park pits together Oldham Athletic and Forest Green, the two sides who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Oldham aim to escape the relegation zone, but given their three-game losing run in the League Two, home win should not be considered. You should bear in mind that the Latics failed to find the net in the previous two league fixtures.
The Green Army, on the other hand, are leading the chase for automatic promotion, and given their display in a 4-1 crushing of Harrogate, anything but a routine away win would be a major surprise. The attacking partnership of Stevens and Matt was in a perfect working order in the midweek triumph, meaning that the duo should have them at bay. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier Forest Green recorded a 3-0 win over Oldham.

Conor McAleny is a product of Everton youth academy, joining the club from Merseyside in 2003 at the age of 11.
