Accrington Stanley prepare for a Saturday lunchtime League Two trip to Oldham Athletic at Boundary Park, aiming to extend their unbeaten run. John Coleman's side sit 16th in the table with 10 points from nine games, and their recent form shows one win and four draws from the last five outings. The team's next fixture after this weekend is a home match against Gillingham on Tuesday, October 8th.
Their last match was a dramatic 1-1 draw with Salford City in the EFL Trophy, a game settled by a lengthy penalty shootout. Before that, they secured a solid 2-0 home victory over Cheltenham Town thanks to a Charlie Warren brace. You can review the team's recent results and upcoming schedule on our fixtures page.
Oldham Athletic arrive in poor form, winless in their last five league matches and sitting 21st in League Two. Their last home game ended in a heavy 4-1 defeat to Salford City, part of a run that has seen them concede 13 goals at Boundary Park this season. This presents a clear opportunity for an Accrington side that has lost three of its four away games so far.
Charlie Caton leads Accrington Stanley's scoring charts with five goals this season. For the hosts, Calum Kavanagh is identified as the main threat, having established himself as one of the division's top scorers. Analyst Anthony Eadson has weighed in on the contest, saying he "expects goals at Boundary Park" this weekend.
The most recent meeting saw Oldham thrash Accrington Stanley 3-0. Stanley had won the two encounters prior to that, however, and Boundary Park has proven a difficult venue for the hosts, with only two home wins recorded there this campaign. The full league standings, showing the six-point gap between Stanley and leaders Salford City, are available on our standings page.
The match kicks off at 12:30pm on Saturday. Accrington Stanley will be looking to build on the momentum from their 2-0 win over Cheltenham as they seek a first away victory since late August.
