This is a League Two meeting between Oldham Athletic and Port Vale, though the matchday details are not yet set. CheckLive has no favoured side in the data, which suggests the result is genuinely open — a draw is just as plausible as a win for either team.
Oldham come in off a 0-2 loss to Stoke City in the EFL Cup, having earlier beaten Sheffield Wednesday 4-0 in a friendly but lost to Stockport County, Huddersfield Town and Bolton Wanderers. Port Vale lost 0-3 to Wolverhampton in the EFL Cup, but won friendlies against Blackpool, Real Murcia and Wigan Athletic, with a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth U21 in between.
The head-to-head record shows seven previous meetings, with Port Vale winning three, Oldham winning two and two draws. The most recent clash, in April 2022, ended 3-2 to Port Vale in League Two. With both sides showing mixed recent results, the key is whether either can find a consistent edge on the day.
