Oldham Ath. prepare to entertain Carlisle United at Boundary Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Latics are clearly on top, having won 19 and lost only 7 of the 34 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Boundary Park was less than a year ago, in December 2008, when they played out a goalless draw in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides
Oldham Athletic will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While Latics have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
Carlisle Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, unbeaten in the last six, but with four of them resulting in draws. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Cumbrians, and 6 goals against.
Oldham Ath. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 6 points from their 7 games thus far. Carlisle Utd.'s 8 points from 7 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Latics at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Cumbrians come away with an easy victory. Away win
