Match Preview
Salford City will host Oldham Athletic at The Peninsula Stadium on Saturday, 18 October, in a crucial League Two clash. The home side comes into this match with a solid run of form, having secured two wins and a draw in their last five outings, while Oldham has struggled, managing just two draws and three losses in the same period. Salford's recent performances suggest they are finding their rhythm, particularly at home, where they have shown resilience and attacking intent.
One key angle to consider is Salford's ability to score, as they have found the net in four of their last five matches, while Oldham's defence has been vulnerable, conceding in all but one of their last five games. This trend could favour Salford, especially given their historical advantage in head-to-head encounters, where they have won three of the last five meetings. With both teams needing points for different reasons, expect an engaging contest, but Salford's current form and home advantage may prove decisive.
