As the EFL approaches a critical juncture, several clubs are eager to seize opportunities during the international break. One of the standout matchups will take place at Boundary Park, where Oldham Athletic will face Notts County. This clash is pivotal for both teams in their pursuit of promotion.
Oldham Aims to Extend Winning Streak
Oldham enters this fixture riding a remarkable nine-game unbeaten streak, which includes four consecutive victories. Currently, they sit just four points shy of a playoff position. A win against Notts County is crucial for their aspirations.
Notts County’s Challenges
On the other hand, Notts County is also keen on gaining points. They recently triumphed over Cheltenham with a 5-2 scoreline. However, this victory came at a price, as centre-back Rod McDonald sustained an injury and his participation remains uncertain. Additionally, Matty Platt, another defender, is confirmed to be unavailable. This puts Notts County at a disadvantage against the high-flying Oldham team.

Looking to build on this momentum, Doncaster will host Port Vale, who currently hold the bottom spot in the league.
