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 4, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Oldham Ath.'s 60 points from 42 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position. Crewe Alex. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 45 points from 42 matches.
