Prediction: 1-1
Oldham
The Lamex Stadium will host postponed fixture between Stevenage and Oldham Athletic. Stevenage aim to put an end to their ten-game winless run in the League Two, with the team eyeing their first league win since October 26, 2019. The Boro do not seem to be on top of their game ahead of the visit of Oldham Athletic, and you should bear in mind that they failed to find the net in the previous three league fixtures.
The Latics, on the other hand, were on the verge of beating Macclesfield Town at Moss Rode Stadium, but the hosts eventually scored the equalizer from the penalty spot in the stoppage time. Oldham Athletic will be without suspended defender David Wheater against Stevenage, which is probably the main reason why away win should be considered. A close encounter is on the cards at the Lamex Stadium, and we are tempted to put our money on draw.

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.
