Swansea V Oldham

I may be about the only person that will oppose Swansea this weekend but I think its worth it.

Swansea have been in terrific form lately winning 10 of the last 12 and just powering their way through the league to open up a 10 point lead at the top of the table. Goals have not been a problem as they have flowed freely all season. 2 goals scored a game is an impressive stat and with only 22 conceded they have one of the meanest defences in the league. However with 4 games inside the last 12 days in the league and a dissapointing FA cup exit also to consider I think that fatigue has to catch up eventually.

Oldham are no mugs. They sit in 13 position but mainly due to a terrible home record in which they have recorded only the three paltry wins. Their away record makes much better reading though with only three defeats in 14 league games with a good scoring record ( 17- 11 ) With 7 games undefeated on their travels their defence has proven to be quite efficient with only 7 clean sheets overall. They grabbed lots of attention when they went to Everton in the FA Cup and controlled the home side to take a deserving victory proving that they can mix it with the best.

Verdict

Swansea have to feel the fatigue factor eventually and will slip up at some stage between now and the end of the season( though I do think they will win the league quite easily in the end)

Oldham are a team that are set perfectly to catch them out and have an away record that most teams can only dream of. A win is probably pushing my luck but if Oldham can demonstrate the same defensive qualities that they have in recent times then a low scoring draw is a very realistic shout. Small stakes though
