Preview

Oldham head into the 2026/27 campaign looking to avenge a frustrating end to last season. The Latics lost four of their final five League Two fixtures, dropping to 10th in the standings after a sustained play-off push. Their season started with a 2-0 Carabao Cup defeat to Stoke last time out.

Port Vale are back in the second tier after a dismal 2025/26 season, although the Valiants did show some fighting spirit even after their fate was already all but mathematically sealed. With a new face at the helm in Jon Brady and plenty of new names through the door, the visitors are well-placed to fight for a return to League One.
