Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson expects a tight local affair, with Salford’s in-form scorer a threat.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Under 2.5 goals11/10 (Sky Bet)Four of Oldham’s seven League Two games and four of Salford’s have finished with fewer than three goals. Salford have won three of their last four, two of them 1-0, against Port Vale and Swindon, while Oldham have scored just twice in their last four games. Sky Bet’s 11/10 gives an implied probability of 48%, and with neither side scoring freely, a controlled game with few goals appeals at Boundary Park.
Joe Powell to score anytime9/2 (bet365)Joe Powell has scored in each of Salford’s last three League Two games, against Port Vale, Rotherham and Swindon, and his three goals make him their top scorer. Oldham have lost their last three, conceding six goals in the process. Bet365’s 9/2 carries an implied probability of just 18%, a big price for a player on a three-game scoring streak in a game Salford can win.

How Oldham Athletic go into the game

Oldham finished tenth last season but have hit a rough patch, losing their last three league games to Tranmere, Chesterfield and Rochdale and dropping to 16th.

Boundary Park was a strength early on, with a 2-0 win over Port Vale and a 3-0 thrashing of Swindon, but Chesterfield won 2-1 there earlier this month.

Calum Kavanagh leads their scoring with three goals. Oldham went out of the League Cup in the first round, beaten 2-0 at Stoke.

How Salford City go into the game

Salford recovered from three straight defeats at the start of the season and have won three of their last four, beating Newport, Port Vale and Swindon.

The other game in that run was a 3-3 draw at Rotherham, and last weekend’s 1-0 win over Swindon lifted them to 12th.

Joe Powell has scored in each of their last three games. Salford finished fourth last season and have won five of the last six meetings with Oldham.
