Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We think it's fairly unlikely that this fixture will deliver 4 goals or more, and the odds and statistics are in line with KO's predictive algorithm on this one. Oldham and Salford haven't typically treated their fans to thrillers of late, whether that be in League Two individually or when going head-to-head. So, in the absence of a strong favourite WDW or double chance market, we're going for under 3.5 goals. You can go for that at a best price of 1.29.

Goal Statistics

Salford City's defensive record is very strong, K. Robinson's men having conceded 1 or less in 8 consecutive League Two matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.3 for Oldham Athletic makes sense in this context.
