Recent respective form guides

Brighton & Hove Albion's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. The Seagulls's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.

Oldham Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. Only 4 goals have been registered in this time, with 5 leaked at the wrong end.

Brighton & HA are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 13 points from 13 matches. Oldham Ath.'s 17 points from 13 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.
