Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It would probably be a little strong to say that we expect Micky Mellon and Andrew Pierce to got all-out defensive here, but we certainly don't expect to see a deluge of goals as Oldham and Barrow go head-to-head. The statistics belowpoint towards there being under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we think it's likely to go that way too. With best odds of 1.57 available on under 2.5 goals and nothing too eyecatching in the full time result market, that's the bet we'd advise you go for.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Oldham are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 38% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.05.
