SHREWSBURY, England (Interstat) — A pivotal League Two clash with playoff implications is set for Saturday when Shrewsbury Town hosts Oldham Athletic at New Meadow.

The match is a quick reunion, following a 2-2 draw at Boundary Park just over five months ago. That result is indicative of the tight nature of the fourth-tier contest expected this weekend, with Interstat’s game simulator projecting another 1-1 stalemate.

Form, however, favors the visitors. Oldham Athletic arrives unbeaten in its last three, including a comprehensive 3-1 victory over Colchester United and a 1-1 draw with Milton Keynes Dons in its last outing. The Latics have been formidable, losing just once in their last 10 league matches—a run featuring six wins and three draws that has propelled them up the table.

In contrast, Shrewsbury Town seeks to regain momentum after a inconsistent spell. The Shrews snapped a three-game losing skid with a 1-0 win over Tranmere Rovers on April 3, but followed it with a 2-1 defeat at Bromley on Tuesday. Their home form has been particularly shaky, with just one win in their last five matches at New Meadow across all competitions.

The matchup presents a clear contrast: Oldham’s potent attack, which has scored three goals in a match five times since late February, against a Shrewsbury side struggling for consistency. Shrewsbury will rely on home advantage and the memory of their come-from-behind 3-2 win at Chesterfield earlier in March to spark a performance.

For Oldham, a positive result is crucial to maintain their push for a top-seven finish ahead of a challenging schedule next week at Barrow. Shrewsbury, looking to climb away from mid-table, needs points before a trip to Crawley Town next Saturday.

Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. local time (1400 GMT) on April 11.
