Luton Town prepare to entertain Oldham Athletic at Kenilworth Road on Saturday afternoon, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 20 games played, Hatters have recorded 8 wins, and Oldham Ath. have come away with 4 victories.

Luton Town have lost just once in their last six home games, winning four and drawing the other one. A total of 11 goals have been scored by the Hatters in those games, with 5 conceded.

In complete contrast to Luton Town, Oldham Ath. are having a torrid time on their travels, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Latics have hit 5 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.
