Both teams to scoreYes (61%)
Oldham Athletic host Crawley Town at Boundary Park in League Two on 31 October 2026. Oldham sit 20th with 12 points from 12 games, while Crawley occupy the bottom spot, 24th, with just 6 points from 11 matches. The hosts are favourites to take three points.
Team form
Oldham
Oldham's recent record is poor. They drew 0-0 at home to Accrington on 10 October, but before that lost four consecutive matches, conceding 10 goals across those five games. They have scored only 2 goals in their last five outings. Defensively, they are leaking chances—averaging 1.50 goals conceded per game this season. Their last outing showed minimal attacking threat, with no shots on goal and just 0.18 expected goals.
Crawley Town
Crawley's plight is worse. They have won just once all season and sit bottom of the league. Their last match, a 2-2 draw at home to Chesterfield on 10 October, offered a rare bright spot, but they have lost four of their last five games. Over those five matches they conceded 11 goals—an average of 2.2 per game. Defensively they are fragile, and their attacking output remains inconsistent. They managed 2.11 expected goals in their most recent fixture but have struggled to convert chances into wins.
Head-to-head
Oldham have a strong historical advantage. In their last five meetings, Oldham won three times and drew once, with Crawley's only defeat coming in each of the four most recent encounters at this ground. Oldham won 2-1 at home in December 2019 and again in September 2018. The hosts have not lost to Crawley in any recent head-to-head.
Key factors
Oldham's home record and Crawley's league position create a significant gap in quality. Crawley's defensive fragility—conceding 1.91 goals per game on average—will be tested by an Oldham side that, despite their own struggles, should find opportunities. Oldham's 3-4-2-1 formation offers width and midfield control against Crawley's 4-4-2. Crawley's striker Orsi showed promise with a 7.03 rating in their last match, but one player cannot overcome systemic defensive issues. The bookmakers price both teams to score at 1.56, reflecting Crawley's inability to keep clean sheets and Oldham's recent defensive leakiness.
Prediction
Oldham are the favourite because they have superior league position, a winning record in head-to-head meetings, and are playing at home. Crawley's relegation-form record and defensive record make them unlikely winners. However, Oldham's own defensive vulnerabilities and poor recent attacking output—they have scored just 14 goals in 12 games—mean this is not a one-sided affair. Crawley will create chances, particularly on the counter, but Oldham should have enough to edge the contest. The expected goal balance favours the hosts, and their home advantage is decisive.
Oldham are favourites to win. Expect a fairly open match with both sides likely to score, given the defensive frailties on display. Oldham should prevail, but Crawley's desperation and attacking potential mean they will not go down without a fight.
