Recent respective form guides

Oldham Athletic's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Latics have scored 10, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Hull City's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Tigers, and 4 goals against.

Oldham Ath. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 43 points from 39 matches. Hull City are leading the way in the Coca-Cola League One, with their 39 games giving them a return of 79 points.
