History of the Huddersfield Town v Oldham Athletic fixture

Huddersfield prepare to entertain Oldham Athletic at Galpharm Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Terriers are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 2 of the 17 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Galpharm Stadium was less than a year ago, in January 2006, as the Terriers squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Huddersfield Town's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Terriers have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Oldham Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The Latics's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 9 goals for and 8 against.

Huddersfield's 24 points from 18 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Oldham Ath. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League One, picking up 29 from their 18 games so far.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Terriers at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Latics come away with an easy victory. Away win
