A place in the second round of the FA Cup is up on offer as Oldham Athletic and Sheffield Wednesday battle it out at Boundary Park in the first round. Sheffield Wednesday have won their last four competitive meetings against Oldham, strengthening our prediction for an away win.
Oldham Athletic managed to renew their confidence on Tuesday with a 1-0 away league win over Northampton. That triumph has left them sitting in 21st place with 14 points.
Latics will be hoping for another positive outcome this time in the FA Cup. In the previous edition, they began the first round with a comfortable win over Northampton Town before losing 3-1 to Milton Keynes Dons in the second round.
The defeat to MK Dons in the second round marked the second successive edition that they've been eliminated from this competition.
Sheffield Wednesday enter this clash with their confidence at a low level. They saved a point in a 1-1 home draw against Blackpool in League One. That left them in ninth place in the league standings.
A return to the FA Cup sees the Owls seeking redemption after a 2-0 defeat to Brentford in the third round. That extended their winless run in the competition to four matches.
However, there's reason for optimism, with the visitors progressing in each of their last four ties in this competition against lower-league teams.
