Oldham v Sheffield United Betting Tips
This should be a pretty good match up. Oldham managed to win only one of their first ten home games of the League One season, but there has been a dramatic turnaround since the start of the new year. They have gone W5 D3 L1 in their last nine league games on home soil since the start of January, so that has been a huge improvement. They are still only the three points outside of the drop zone, but there is renewed optimism abound that they will be alright. Oldham lost 2-0 at Bramall Lane against the Sheffield United earlier in the season and that is a ten match winless streak that they are on against the Blades (D6 L4). Each of the last three between these at Oldham have ended in a draw and a 1-1 correct score bet at Coral is a price of 6/1 which should have some appeal. The Latics have conceded in just one of their last four home games in the league and under 2.5 goals is a price of 3/4. Oldham’s current form home and away reads W4 D4 L1 and Lee Erwin has three goals in his last two league games and is running at 7/2 in the anytime goalscorer market.
Sheffield United have been dominating the title race and are six points clear at the top heading into the weekend. So it’s more than likely that they will be in the second tier next season. The Blades have suffered only three losses in their last 34 League One outings now and that was after having put in a shocking start to the season when they collected only one point from their opening four matches. United’s current form reads W6 D3 in their last nine home and away in the league and they are have gone W6 D2 L1 out in their last nine away games. Their defence has been taking some hits lately though, having conceded an average of two goals per game in their last four played and they have shipped seven in their last three road games. Remarkably they still put up a W2 D1 record on those three away games, because of their fantastic scoring power. Both teams to score at Coral is a price of even money. Billy Sharp is a 4/5 anytime goalscorer option with Caolan Lavery at 13/8. The Blades have lost just one of their last seven games away from home in League One.

Oldham v Sheffield United Predictions
Sheffield United away win: There has been enough in Oldham’s form to suggest that the Latics will put on a good showing in this one. However, you would still have to side with the Blades to get his by a one goal margin. They have conceded a lot lately in the league and have still managed to avoid defeat which says a lot about them.
