Oldham Athletic desperately need points today at 8:45 PM in the League 2. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Northampton Town come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Oldham Athletic travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Northampton Town and Oldham Athletic have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–3D–3W). Their last encounter ended in Northampton Town won 1–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Northampton Town a slight edge, but Oldham Athletic are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
