Walsall welcome Oldham Athletic to the Bescot Stadium on Tuesday night for a 7.45pm kick-off, one of the division’s unbeaten sides hosting a Latics team flying high at home but floundering on the road.
Our Walsall vs Oldham Athletic predictions focus on the hosts’ remarkable consistency, as Walsall remain the only team in League Two yet to taste defeat, drawing seven of their 10 games along the way. Oldham arrive fresh from a 4-1 thumping of Cheltenham but carry a wretched away record into the Black Country. These are our best bets for the midweek meeting.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has gone to the corner markets for this one, backing Walsall to win the count and the total to clear 12.5.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Walsall to have most corners | 1/1 (bet365) | Walsall are one of the division’s unbeaten sides, and much of that has come from controlling matches rather than blowing opponents away, with seven of their 10 games ending level. That kind of territorial dominance tends to translate into corner counts, especially at home where they have conceded only twice in four. Oldham, meanwhile, have lost three of their four away games and mustered just two goals on their travels, so they are unlikely to spend much time camped in the Walsall box. At even money, the hosts edging the corner count looks a sensible way into a tight contest. |
| The draw | 27/10 (Betfair Sportsbook) | Walsall have made a habit of sharing the points this season. Seven of their 10 League Two games have finished level, including 1-1 draws in each of their last three, and they are one of only three unbeaten sides in the division. Oldham Athletic have lost three of their four away games, but they have scored in eight of their 10 matches, so Walsall may find this one hard to put away. With the hosts’ pattern so consistent, 27/10 with Betfair Sportsbook on another draw is a price worth taking. |

How Walsall go into the game
Walsall are the division’s great unbeaten drawers, fifth on 16 points from 10 games without a single defeat but with seven draws alongside their three wins. They were held to a 1-1 draw at Swindon Town last time out, a third successive away stalemate following 1-1 draws at Fleetwood Town and Tranmere Rovers. Aaron Pressley leads the way with five goals.
At the Bescot Stadium they have been typically hard to beat, winning two and drawing two of four without losing and conceding just twice in the process. Only three times all season have Walsall failed to find the net, and their five clean sheets underline a defence that rarely gives much away.
How Oldham Athletic go into the game
Oldham Athletic arrive 19th on 11 points from 10 games, a return of three wins, two draws and five defeats that has them hovering just above the drop zone. The Latics go into the midweek round in buoyant mood after thrashing Cheltenham Town 4-1 at home last time out, their biggest win of the season. Calum Kavanagh tops their scoring with five.
The road, though, has been unkind to Oldham. They have lost three of their four away games and drawn the other, scoring only twice while conceding seven, a stark drop-off from their home form. That winless away record makes a visit to an unbeaten Walsall side a daunting assignment.
Walsall vs Oldham Athletic head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 29/12/25 | Walsall | 1-2 | Oldham Athletic |
| 10/12/25 | Oldham Athletic | 0-1 | Walsall |
| 15/03/22 | Walsall | 2-1 | Oldham Athletic |
| 19/10/21 | Oldham Athletic | 3-1 | Walsall |
| 16/01/21 | Walsall | 1-1 | Oldham Athletic |
Recent meetings have been competitive, with Walsall holding a 4-2 edge across the last eight and two draws thrown in. Oldham, though, won the most recent clash, a 2-1 success at the Bescot last December, so the visitors will travel with a little belief despite their away struggles.
