Oldham's equivalent run reads six wins, two draws and twelve losses, with 28 scored and 32 conceded. They've found the net more often than Shrewsbury but have also shipped goals at a similar rate.

Both sides are conceding freely across their recent matches, which hints at goals being a feature whenever they meet.

Comparative Team Statistics: Shrewsbury vs Oldham

Head-to-Head

The last three meetings have all been close. Shrewsbury won 1-0 at home back in April, Oldham fought back for a 2-2 draw when hosting in October last year, and a pre-season friendly in 2024 went Oldham's way 1-0.

There's a longer history between the clubs stretching back into their League One days, but those games are from a different era and squad, so they don't add much to the current picture.

Recent meetings suggest another tight, closely fought game wouldn't be a surprise.

Where They Stand

In the League Two table itself, Shrewsbury sit 18th with eight points from eight games, built on two wins, two draws and four defeats. Oldham are just below them in 20th on seven points from the same number of matches, with two wins, one draw and five losses.

Both have scored sparingly this season, seven for Shrewsbury and nine for Oldham, while each has conceded 13.

With so little separating them in the table, this looks like a genuinely tight contest on paper.

Players To Note

The player data available focuses on Oldham. C. Kavanagh has been their standout contributor, with four goals and three assists in his last eight appearances, making him their main source of threat.
