Oldham vs Portsmouth Preview
Oldham come into this game unbeaten in their last five. Their recent run of good form has lifted Richie Wellens’s side out of the relegation zone and up to 19th in the table. They’re two points clear of the drop now but need to ensure their form continues in order to further expand that gap at the bottom of the table.
Wellens’s side fought back from two goals down away to bottom-of-the-table Bury last weekend, earning them a vital point and extending their unbeaten run to five games. Prior to that draw, Oldham picked up three points against 5th placed Scunthorpe away from home. Two goals late in the second half sealed the win for Wellens’s side and will give them confidence they can produce a similar result on Saturday against Portsmouth.
The hosts have already beaten Portsmouth this season when two goals from Eoin Doyle gave the visitors a two-goal lead which was enough to claim victory despite Portsmouth’s Brett Pitman clawing one back in the last minute.
Richie Wellens has a full squad available for selection after Ryan McLaughlin, Eoin Doyle and Ron Hunt made it back to the lineup against Bury.
Portsmouth’s 3-1 defeat to Gillingham at the weekend means they have now only picked up one win in their last five and have suffered four defeats. After a good start to the season, Kenny Jackett’s side have had a horrid start to 2018. Since January 1st, Pompey have only managed two wins from twelve which has left them 12th in the league and seven points adrift of a playoff place.
Jackett needs to find some consistency from his players if they are going to challenge for a playoff spot but they’re up against a team they haven’t beaten since 1997 and have already suffered defeat to earlier this season at home.
Gareth Evans and Brett Pitman are unlikely to feature as they recover from hamstring injuries while Milan Lalkovic, Stuart O’Keefe, Danny Rose and Stephen Henderson also remain out through injury. Nathan Thompson, who was has been serving a suspension for the last four games is now eligible to play again on Saturday.

Oldham vs Portsmouth Predictions
Oldham come into this fixture in better form than the visitors who have struggled to find any consistency since the New Year. There have been three or more goals scored in Portsmouth’souths last 7 games and with Oldham finding the net in their last eight games at home, over 2.5 goals seems like a good bet along with both teams to score. Picking a winner is a tough ask given the up and down form of the visitors and so we’re backing a score draw with both sides taking home a point.

Oldham have won the last three meetings against Portsmouth. However, Portsmouth were only promoted into League One at the beginning of the season and so the only time these two sides have met in the last five years was in the league earlier in the season. Oldham left Fratton Park that day with all three points after a goal from Eoin Doyle in each half was too much for the hosts to come back from.
