Oldham vs Crawley Town Prediction

Oldham Athletic host Crawley Town at Boundary Park on 31 October 2026 at 18:00, with the Latics favoured to exploit a visiting side in freefall. Crawley have won none of their last nine games and lost four of their last five away matches, conceding 2.10 goals per game on the road. Oldham won three of their last ten home fixtures and average 1.20 goals scored at Boundary Park, though their own form has been patchy—recent results include a win over Cheltenham, a loss to Walsall, and a draw with Barnet. Kane Drummond is expected to start for the hosts. Crawley's interim manager Kevin Blackwell faces a dressing room low on confidence and without a clean sheet in any of their last five away outings.

Form and H2H

Oldham's home record shows three wins, two draws, and five losses across their last ten matches, with an average of 1.70 goals conceded per game. Crawley's away form is worse: one win, three draws, and six losses, averaging 2.10 goals conceded per match. The head-to-head record between these sides spans from 2013 to 2019 and favours Oldham slightly. Crawley won their first meeting 1-0 in September 2013, but Oldham have taken the upper hand in recent encounters, including a 3-0 victory in February 2019. Of the six previous meetings, four produced at least two goals.

Best bet

Oldham 2-0 Crawley Town is the pick. The hosts' home advantage, combined with Crawley's defensive fragility on the road and nine-game winless run, creates a clear opportunity. Oldham's recent inconsistency is offset by their stronger showing at Boundary Park, where they have won half their last six matches. Crawley's inability to keep a clean sheet in their last five away games and their average of 2.10 goals conceded per match suggest they will struggle to contain the Latics' attack.
