History of the Oldham Athletic v Tranmere Rovers fixture

Oldham Ath. prepare to entertain Tranmere Rovers at Boundary Park on Wednesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Latics are clearly on top, having won 22 and lost only 9 of the 40 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Boundary Park was less than a year ago, in March 2009, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Oldham Athletic's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Latics have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Tranmere Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Rovers have hit 7 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Oldham Ath. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 25 points from 23 matches. Tranmere Rvs. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 21 points from their 23 games thus far.
