Northampton v Oldham prediction

Oldham crestOldhamLLLWL

What to expect

We expect about 0.7 goals from Northampton and 1.0 from Oldham, so Oldham come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 1.7 goals in the game, so we are braced for a tight one where good chances are rare.

Northampton come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Northampton or Draw. This covers Northampton or the draw, trading a shorter price for a wider safety net. A sensible way to back the lean without needing the exact result.

We put the chance of that landing at about 66 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.43, which works out at about 70 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
✓Northampton have won one of their last five.
✓Oldham have won one of their last five.

Chesterfield are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.9-0.9), and we make them about 61% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.

This should be an open game: we make it around 3.5 goals between the two (xG 2.1-1.5), landing about 63% of the time on these numbers. Both sides carry a threat, so the goals should follow.
