Oldham preview: Hoping to finally win a game
After the first six rounds in this League Two season, Oldham are one of just five teams that are still without a win in the league. On top of that, they also lost to Accrington in the EFL Cup and Man City U21 team in the EFL Trophy, so they are winless since the start of the season in all competitions. On the bright side, they only lost two of the six league matches, drawing in the other four.
When it comes to team news, Oldham will be without Michael Mellon for this match since he's on international duty.
Predicted lineup: Hudson (GK), Sutton, Daniels, Monthe, Robson, Hawkes, Woods, Conlon, Drummond, Waters & Quigley
Last five matches

- Oldham 1-5 Man City U21 (EFL Trophy)
- Fleetwood 1-1 Oldham (League Two)
- Bristol Rovers 1-1 Oldham (League Two)
- Oldham 1-2 Swindon (League Two)
Player to watch: James Brophy
With three goals in the league so far, the experienced midfielder has been one of Cambridge United's crucial contributors on the offensive end of the pitch and Brophy will hope to continue this fine run of form against Oldham as well.
