Recent respective form guides

Luton Town's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. The Hatters have conceded a disappointing 9 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Oldham Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. These low-scoring games have seen just 4 goals scored and conceded.

Luton Town are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 25 points from their 36 games thus far. Oldham Ath. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League One, picking up 53 from their 37 games so far.
