Match Preview
As Oldham Athletic prepares to host Colchester United at Boundary Park on Saturday, both teams are looking to find their footing early in the League Two season. Oldham's recent form shows a struggle for consistency, with just two draws and three losses in their last five matches. In contrast, Colchester has managed to secure a win alongside two draws in the same timeframe, suggesting a slight edge in confidence. Historically, encounters between these sides have been closely contested, with seven of the last ten meetings seeing both teams score. Given Oldham's defensive vulnerabilities and Colchester’s ability to find the net, betting on both teams to score (BTTS) at odds of 2.00 could be a promising angle. Additionally, with the odds for over 2.5 goals sitting at 2.35, the potential for an open game could be on the cards, particularly if both sides aim to capitalise on their attacking strengths while addressing their defensive frailties.
