Northampton Town vs Oldham Athletic predictions point to a tight League Two battle at Sixfields Stadium on Tuesday night, with kick-off at 7.45pm and both sides scrapping to climb away from the bottom five.
These are two of the division’s strugglers, separated by a single place and two points at the wrong end of the table, and neither can afford to let this one drift. Northampton Town have made Sixfields a hard place to visit, while Oldham Athletic arrive badly out of sorts on their travels.
Read on for our full preview of the midweek meeting, including two Premium Tips, the key market angles, the head-to-head record and a score prediction.
Premium Tips
Two struggling, low-scoring sides meet at Sixfields, and the numbers steer us towards a cagey, defensive night. Here are our two Premium Tips for Northampton Town against Oldham Athletic.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Under 1.5 goals | 9/4 (bet365) | This looks a night for the cautious punter, with two of League Two’s most goal-shy sides meeting at Sixfields. Northampton Town have scored just nine goals in 12 games, the fewest in the division, and have kept four clean sheets along the way. Their home record is tighter still, only three goals conceded in six matches. Oldham Athletic have managed only three goals in six away trips all season, so there is little to suggest a goal glut here. With neither attack firing, the under looks the sensible play at a tempting 9/4. |
| Northampton Town to win to nil | 3/1 (BoyleSports) | Oldham Athletic’s travel sickness is the pull here. The visitors have failed to win any of their six league games on the road, scoring just three times while shipping 11 goals in the process. Northampton Town, by contrast, are well organised at home, where they have conceded only three goals in six matches. The hosts are narrow favourites to come out on top, and with Oldham offering so little away from home, backing Northampton to win without conceding at 3/1 makes real appeal. |

How Northampton Town go into the game
Northampton Town sit 20th in League Two with 14 points from their opening 12 matches, a return built on resilience rather than firepower. They have scored just nine goals all season, the division’s lowest tally, but four clean sheets and a miserly home record, three goals conceded in six games at Sixfields, point to a defence that is hard to break down.
A 1-1 draw at Accrington Stanley last time out continued a steady enough spell, with two wins and two draws in their last five league outings. The only defeat in that run came at home to Tranmere Rovers, so Northampton will fancy their chances of another positive result on home soil.
How Oldham Athletic go into the game
Oldham Athletic are a place and two points further back in 21st, with 12 points from 13 games and a goal difference of minus five. Calum Kavanagh has been their main source of goals with five, but the team as a whole has leaked 19 and kept only three clean sheets.
Form on the road is the obvious worry. Oldham have failed to win any of their six away games this season, scoring just three times and conceding 11, and they were beaten 1-0 at home by bottom club Crawley Town last time out.

| Both teams to score – No | 1/1 (bet365) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Four of Northampton’s games have ended without the opposition scoring, and Oldham have been shut out five times this season. |
| Under 2.5 goals | 8/11 (bet365) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Northampton’s nine goals are the fewest in League Two, and Oldham have managed just three in six away games. |
| Northampton Town 1-0 | 7/1 (William Hill) | ⭐⭐ | Northampton have conceded only three goals in six home games, and tight margins are the norm at Sixfields. |
Northampton Town vs Oldham Athletic score prediction
Everything about this one points to a low-scoring, tense evening under the Sixfields lights. The hosts’ defensive record at home and Oldham Athletic’s wretched away form make Northampton Town narrow favourites, and with clear chances likely to be at a premium, a single goal could prove decisive. Score prediction: Northampton Town 1-0 Oldham Athletic.
