FootyMad's prediction ...
Luton Town are in reasonable form away from home coming into this match, and the Madmen are quite confident that they should come away with a comfortable victory from this contest. Away win
| Sequence statistics: | |
| Oldham Ath. | 7 games since last home draw. Latest 3 games ended in defeat. Not won in the 3 most recent games. |
| Luton Town | 4 games since last away draw. Last drawn game 8 outings ago. |
Team news: Luton are likely to field the same team that beat Swindon last week. Steven O'Leary and Alan Neilson look set to miss out on places on the bench due to injuries, and Chris Coyne will probably not be risked. Steve Robinson is still short of fitness after his operation.
