Sports Mole previews Tuesday's National League clash between Oldham Athletic and Boreham Wood, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.
Sports Mole

Oldham Athletic will be bidding to make it four National League victories in a row when they continue their campaign at home to Boreham Wood on Tuesday night.

Micky Mellon's side are currently sixth in the table, picking up 42 points from their 27 matches this season, while Boreham are 15th, collecting 32 points from their 27 games in 2023-24.


Match preview

Oldham were in FA Trophy action on Saturday, suffering a 2-1 home defeat to Hendon, but their focus this season is on the National League, where they have been in excellent form.

Indeed, Mellon's team have recorded three straight wins over Hartlepool United (twice) and Dorking Wanderers, with the run of form moving them into sixth position in the table on 42 points.

Oldham are some 23 points off the leaders Chesterfield, while they are just two clear ahead of Gateshead in eighth, so the hosts are far from comfortable when it comes to the playoff positions.

The Latics have struggled for consistency at home this season, picking up 17 points from their 13 matches, and they have only won two of their last nine games in front of their own supporters.

Oldham were last in league action on January 6, recording a 1-0 victory over Dorking, with Mike Fondop-Talum's effort late in the first period proving to be the difference between the two sides.

Boreham Wood, meanwhile, will enter this match off the back of a 1-1 draw with York City in the National League on January 7, which made it three games unbeaten at this level of football.

The Wood have won seven, drawn 11 and lost nine of their 27 matches this season to collect 32 points, which has left them in 15th position in the table, five points clear of the relegation zone.

Luke Garrard's side are nine points off the playoffs, meanwhile, so a strong run of form would be capable of moving them towards the top seven.

Boreham Wood finished sixth in the National League last season, which saw them qualify for the playoffs, but they were beaten by Notts County in the semi-finals after overcoming Barnet in the quarter-finals.

Garrard's team have won three, drawn five and lost five of their 13 away league games this season, conceding 27 times in the process, and they will be the underdogs heading into Tuesday's contest.
