History of the Cheltenham Town v Oldham Athletic fixture

Cheltenham T. are ready to welcome Oldham Athletic to Whaddon Road on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. Of the two previous meetings, the Robins have won one and drawn one.

The previous match played between the two at Whaddon Road was more than three years back, in April 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Cheltenham Town's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Robins have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Oldham Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Cheltenham T. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 15 points from their 16 games thus far. Oldham Ath. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League One, picking up 23 from their 16 games so far.
