Bitesize Prediction: Oldham Athletic vs Halifax Town – 14/05/25

Competition: National League Play-Offs

Market: Oldham Athletic to qualify

Odds: 8/15 @ 1xBet

Two camps who will get their respective play-off adventures underway on Wednesday night, Oldham will welcome Halifax to Boundary Park.

Starting with the hosts, heading into the play-off campaign with a routine 2-0 victory against Ebbsfleet last week, Oldham cruised their way to a top-seven finish without breaking much of a sweat. Despite failing to muster consecutive National League victories since the start of February, Micky Mellon’s men will be excited by their extended success on home soil. Including a 2-1 win against Hartlepool last month, the Latics have won three of their previous four appearances at Boundary Park. Likewise, the former Tranmere boss has seen his squad suffer just a single defeat from their last six National League showdowns in front of their own supporters. With their sights firmly set on booking a lucrative Football League return, Oldham should also be excited by their most recent meeting against Wednesday’s guests. Landing a 2-0 victory when they welcomed Halifax to Boundary Park on March 22nd, Mellon will be desperately seeking a repeat performance on Wednesday night.

As for the visitors, while Halifax might have secured yet another play-off ticket, the Shaymen have struggled to find any recent stability over recent times. Last seen drawing a line under their regular-season campaign with a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Wealdstone, Chris Millington’s men could only muster a pair of wins from any of their previous 10 National League appearances – a run that stems back to March 15th. With their downbeat run underlined by a 3-0 drumming at home against Altrincham last month, Wednesday’s guests have also won just a pair of their previous eight showdowns on the road. Facing what should be another stern examination when they get their play-off adventure underway here, Halifax hold a worrying record at Boundary Park. Including that 2-0 loss when they travelled to Oldham on March 22nd, they have lost back-to-back trips to Greater Manchester by an aggregate score of 6-2.
