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 9, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Oldham Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Latics have hit 7 goals, 17 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Cheltenham T. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 37 games have yielded only 29 points. Oldham Ath. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League One, picking up 58 from their 38 games so far.
