THE PREDICTION
Two divisions separate these two clubs as League Two team Oldham take Championship side Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. This match was originally supposed to be played at Boundary Park, but was switched at short notice to Bournemouth's home ground due to a frozen pitch. The Latics are coming off the back of their last league game away at Forest Green Rovers being abandoned in the second half due to heavy fog with the score at 1-1. Meanwhile, Bournemouth responded well to their defeat at the hands of promotion rivals Brentford with a hard-fought 0-1 victory away at Stoke. The Cherries have lost just one of their last seven matches and should have the necessary strength in depth to balance a potential FA Cup run with their current Premier League promotion push. It’s that strength in depth, along with their recent defensive solidarity that should not only see Jason Tindall’s men overcome their lower league opponents here, but also keep their seventh clean sheet in eight matches.
