ℹ️ Team News: Oldham Athletic
The Oldham Athletic manager Micky Mellon has zero fitness worries at all coming into this clash with a completely injury-free group available to select from.
It’s our opinion that The Latics will probably kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, beginning the first half with Bernd Leno, Timothy Castagne, Tosin Adarabioyo, Calvin Bassey, Antonee Robinson, Harrison Reed, Sasa Lukic, Harry Wilson, Andreas Pereira, Alex Iwobi and Rodrigo Muniz.
📋 Team News: Southend United
Thanks to a largely available group, there’s only the sole fitness worry for the Southend United manager Kevin Maher to be concerned about. Callum Powell (Cruciate ligament injury) won’t be in action.
It’s our belief that The Shrimpers seem likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Bart Verbruggen, Tariq Lamptey, Jan Paul van Hecke, Lewis Dunk, Igor, Pascal Gross, Carlos Baleba, Facundo Buonanotte, Danny Welbeck, Simon Adingra and Evan Ferguson.
🔮 Prediction
Our feeling is that Southend United will likely be able to get a goal against this Oldham Athletic lineup, however that might not be as many as they will have scored against them.
Our selection here is for both teams to score in a 2-1 winning score for Oldham Athletic by the conclusion of the game. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
