Oldham Ath. prepare to entertain Southend United at Boundary Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 6 of the 13 previous games, with the Latics winning just 5.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Boundary Park was just last season, in September 2007, with Southend Utd. inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Latics in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides
Oldham Athletic's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. Latics have conceded a disappointing 9 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.
Southend Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, with a marvellous return of five wins and one defeat from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Shrimpers, and 7 goals against.
Oldham Ath.'s 61 points from 44 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position. Southend Utd. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League One, picking up 67 from their 44 games so far.

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 Shrimpers come away with an easy victory. Away win
