Oldham Athletic vs Cambridge United: match statistics
Cambridge United are in 3rd place in the table and are in clearly better form with 4 wins in their last 5 matches and 2.4 points per game, while Oldham Athletic in 16th position earn only 1.6 points. The hosts struggle with efficiency – just 8% shot conversion and 1.15 goals per game at home, which puts them in a worse position than the visitors, who despite poorer away statistics (0.92 goals per game) show better efficiency (10% conversion). Oldham have the advantage in possession (51% vs 49%) and a higher xG at home (1.63 vs 1.12 for the visitors away), however, Cambridge's form (WLWWW run) and their table position speak in favor of their victory. A draw is also realistic due to Oldham's high percentage of draws at home (46%) and Cambridge away (38%), but the visitors' class advantage and form give them the best chance of taking all three points.
