Oldham have impressed with their reliability in recent matches, winning four straight games without conceding a goal, three of which were clean sheets. However, Notts County possesses a much stronger attacking potential, as evidenced by their nine goals in the last two matches.
In their first-leg encounter, Notts County comfortably beat Oldham 3-1, demonstrating their ability to break down even the most organized defense. Despite the hosts' impressive clean sheet streak, statistics show that Notts County scores in almost every match, averaging more than two goals per game over their last five games. Such a powerful attack is unlikely to leave Oldham untouched.
Considering that Oldham are in excellent form and will be playing in front of their home fans with an attacking mindset (especially given the need to close the gap to the playoff places), while Notts County traditionally play an open style of football, a bet on "both teams to score" seems the most reasonable. The high motivation and current form of both teams are expected to lead to each scoring, continuing their high-scoring streak in this league.
