Recent respective form guides

Oldham Athletic's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Latics have conceded a disappointing 7 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Peterborough's away form is none too clever either, remaining unbeaten in their last six, winning five and drawing the one. The games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the Posh, and 6 goals against.

Oldham Ath.'s 59 points from 40 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position. Peterborough are holding the final promotion place in the Coca-Cola League One, and have accumulated 78 points from the 40 games they have played so far.
