Notts County are winless in three after having taken 16 points from the first 18 available under Keith Curle.

The Magpies have fallen down to eighth, four points shy of the play-off places, and they have shipped seven goals in their last two home outings. Neal Bishop misses out through suspension once more.

Oldham boss Paul Dickov continues to be frustrated by his side’s topsy-turvy form.

The Latics followed up back-to-back 1-0 successes with a home defeat by the same margin against Oldham in midweek.

Striker Robbie Simpson is pushing for a return to the starting line-up following a foot injury.

Although Athletic are capable of a surprise on the road, the hosts are desperate to inch closer to the top six and that desire should see them through.

Verdict: Notts County 1-0 Oldham

Under 1.5 goals at 23/10
