Recent respective form guides

Oldham Athletic's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. Latics have conceded a disappointing 10 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Exeter City's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Grecians's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 12 goals for and 11 against.

Oldham Ath. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 21 points from 20 matches. Exeter City find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 22 points from their 20 matches.
