History of the Oldham Athletic v Yeovil Town fixture

Oldham Ath. prepare to entertain Yeovil Town at Boundary Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Latics are clearly on top, with a 60.00% success rate in the fixture.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Boundary Park was less than a year ago, in October 2009, when they played out a goalless draw in a League One match.
