Competition: National League
Market: Both teams to score
Odds: 8/11 @ 1xBet
Two sides who have their sights set on claiming a National League play-off ticket this season, Oldham will welcome York City to Boundary Park on Tuesday night.
Starting with the hosts, while Oldham might have signed off 2024 in the midst of a three-match winning run across all competitions, Micky Mellon’s men have come crashing back down to earth over the past few weeks. Putting in another worrying performance last weekend as they slumped to a 3-1 drumming at home against Aldershot, the former Tranmere boss has seen his squad muster just a single point from any of their last three National League appearances. Getting the New Year underway with a 2-1 defeat away at Hartlepool, the Manchester-based outfit have also shown some extended defensive issues. Along with shipping seven goals on their recent three-match winless run, Tuesday’s hosts have also recorded just a single clean sheet from any of their previous eight matchups across all competitions. It should also be highlighted, Mellon’s side have conceded at least a pair of goals in their last three showdowns at Boundary Park.
As for the visitors, while York might have cemented their spot as one of the National League’s surprise packages this season, Adam Hinshelwood’s men find themselves in an almost identical position to Tuesday’s opponents. Last seen over the weekend falling to a 2-1 loss at home against Sutton, the Minstermen have suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time this season. Watching their FA Cup adventure come to an end on November 2nd following a dramatic 3-2 loss against Wycombe, York have gained a reputation for their glaring issues on the road. In fact, Tuesday’s guests have failed to win any of their last five straight away fixtures across all competitions – a run that stems back to a 2-1 win against Halifax on October 26th. Two sides who find themselves battling it out at the top of the National League table, we could be set for an enjoyable battle from Boundary Park on Tuesday night.
