Oldham host Crawley Town in League Two. Neither side has found much consistency this season, and both currently sit in the lower half of the table.
The last two meetings between these clubs were both tight affairs, even though the gap between them looks a lot wider right now. That contrast is worth working through before settling on how this one might go.

Where to place this bet
Recent form for both sides
Oldham's last 20 matches across competitions read 7 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses, with 28 scored and 29 conceded - numbers that match a side still finding its level. The recent run has swung from a 4-1 home win over Cheltenham to a defeat at Walsall, with a scoreless draw against Accrington in between.

Crawley's equivalent sample is tougher reading: 4 wins, 5 draws and 11 losses, with 24 scored against 33 conceded. They've drawn with Tranmere and Chesterfield in recent weeks but also lost to Shrewsbury and Salford City, so confidence won't be high going into this trip.
Comparative Team Statistics: Oldham vs Crawley Town

A history of tight meetings
These two have met regularly across League One and League Two over the years, and scorelines have swung both ways. Oldham won the most recent meeting 2-0 in February, but the one before that finished 2-2 at Crawley back in December 2025.
| League | Home | Away | Date | Score |

Further back there are several one-goal margins and draws too, which suggests this fixture often stays closer than the respective form might imply.
The table gap between them
Oldham sit 19th with 11 points from 10 league games, built on 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses. Crawley are down in 24th with just 5 points from 9 games, having won once, drawn twice and lost six times.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18 | Swindon Town | 11 | 3 | 3 | 5 | 10/15 | 12 |
| 19 | Oldham | 10 | 3 | 2 | 5 | 13/14 | 11 |
| 20 | Colchester | 10 | 2 | 5 | 3 | 10/13 | 11 |
| 22 | Northampton | 9 | 2 | 4 | 3 | 6/7 | 10 |
| 23 | Rotherham | 11 | 2 | 4 | 5 | 12/18 | 10 |
| 24 | Crawley Town | 9 | 1 | 2 | 6 | 9/17 | 5 |
That's a six-point gap already, with Crawley also having played a game fewer, so there's real pressure on them to find some form quickly.
The underlying numbers back Oldham as the side with more to work with at home.
Men to watch and a few card notes
Callum Kavanagh has been Oldham's most involved attacker, with four goals and three assists in eight matches, making him their likeliest source of goal threat.
Discipline has been an issue for both squads. Norburn, Farquharson and Arthurs have all picked up four yellow cards, while Ebiowei and Gordon have each seen red for Crawley and Scott-Morriss once for Oldham. None of that confirms who's missing for this game, but it hints at a few niggly passages of play.

What might shape it
Oldham go in as the clear favourites given the points gap and Kavanagh's scoring form, but their own record shows ten losses in their last 20 matches, so a comfortable home win is far from certain.
Crawley's recent sample is weak, yet the head-to-head history shows they can make these meetings close even when out of form, so writing them off completely feels premature.

Putting the table gap alongside Oldham's home-ground momentum, backing them to win outright looks the more sensible route rather than reaching for a bigger handicap line.
It won't necessarily be comfortable given both sides' habit of leaking goals, but the overall balance of evidence points towards Oldham getting the win.
