Shrewsbury Town
- The Shrews are in mediocre form, losing four of their last five and only beating Tranmere Rovers 1-0 in their last home game.
- Gavin Cowan has made his mark on the team since taking charge at the end of January 2026, making Shrewsbury a more compact and less predictable side with their best football coming in transition, either in counter-attack or during situational pressing moments.
- His changes have seen Shrews concede just 25 goals in 21 home games in League Two 2025/2026 and win 8, draw 5 and lose 8.
Oldham Athletic (away)
- The Latics have won 8, drawn 6 and lost 6 of their 20 away games in the fourth tier this season, scoring an average of 1.30 and conceding just 0.95 goals.
- Oldham have split their last two away games with a win and a loss and have three wins and a draw in their last five matches, making them 2.2 favorites for this Saturday’s game with Shrewsbury Town.
- The Latics sit 9th in the table with 65 points from 41 games.
Head-to-Head
The last meeting in League Two finished 2-2 in Oldham five months ago and a similar outcome could be on the cards here, but the visitors are the pick to win.
