Port Vale face a trip to Oldham Athletic at Boundary Park on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 20 out of 30 times.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in October 2003, the Latics carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Oldham Athletic's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Latics have scored 7, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.
Port Vale's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 7 leaked at the wrong end.
Oldham Ath. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 36 points from 34 matches. Port Vale find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 41 points from their 34 matches.
