📝 Match Preview: Oldham Athletic (H)

Exeter City have the opportunity to go 18 matches unbeaten when they host Oldham Athletic at St James Park this Saturday.

Following the Grecians 5-3 win over Bristol Rovers in the Papa John's Trophy on Wednesday, Matt Taylor's side are once again on home turf as they look to continue their great from. 

The Latics are currently 22nd in the League Two table but have picked up away from home, currently on a run of five unbeaten away from home in the league, keeping three clean sheets in their last three. They were beaten in their last fixture though, losing 3-2 to Tranmere Rovers on Tuesday in the Papa John's Trophy. 

Matt Taylor's Thoughts

"A two-week break from the league feels like a long time and we have to hit this weekend hard," Matt said after games in the FA Cup and Papa John's Trophy marked a natural break in the league campaign.

"I watched Oldham's performance away at Ipswich and I imagine they are disappointed not to have come away from there with a win - they had some brilliant chances.

"It's a really difficult game this weekend. Our mentality going into this game is key and that is my focus with the players going into it.

"Oldham have suffered a little with injuries but they've absolutely still got some brilliant players."
