Stat Attack
- This is Oldham’s first EFL meeting against Bromley.
- Bromley have drawn each of their last two visits to Oldham (D2), having been held to a 1-1 result in April 2023 then 0-0 in March 2024.
- Andy Woodman’s Ravens have kept three clean sheets in their last four league meetings against Oldham (W2, D2).
- Oldham are yet to win at home in League Two this season (D1, L2), in which they scored twice and conceded four goals.
- Nicke Kabamba has scored in each of Bromley’s last two league matches (W1, D1).
Prediction
With a first win now under their belt after a clinical smash-and-grab winner at Cambridge where they had been outplayed for much of the game, Oldham will now be eager to get a first home victory but their defence will need to be at their best if want to keep Bromley’s front men quiet.
Bromley meanwhile absolutely battered Gillingham in the first half of their eventual undeserved draw with their intensity and finishing, but failure to convert chances at 2-0 up and a dirty injury-time dive against their favour cost them a chance to go top.
Nevertheless Woodman’s Ravens are still unbeaten in the league and that late penalty against them last weekend will only fire them up to get the win, especially with a rare week of rest and training in the lead up to kick-off but Oldham won’t make this easy now that they have that winning taste.
Prediction: Oldham 1-2 Bromley
Result: Oldham 1-0 Bromley
