Crewe vs Oldham - League Two

A fascinating League Two chapter awaits on March 28, 2026 when Crewe take on Oldham at the home ground — two sides with plenty to play for and everything to prove. Catch up with all the action from Chelsea's pre-season clash with AC Milan.

Both Crewe and Oldham will be eager to build momentum when they meet in League Two. The hosts have mirrored the form of a side still searching for rhythm — DDDDW over their last five, a win rate of 33.33%. Oldham have struggled to string results together away from home, LLDWL over their last five with a win rate of 33.33%. The contrast in attacking output — 1 versus 1.33 goals per game — adds an extra layer of intrigue. In terms of net spend, Liverpool topped the table with £219.4m, followed by Ipswich (£190.7m), Spurs (£176m) and Hull (£160.5m).

How the two sides approach the contest strategically will be key. Crewe will want to control proceedings in front of their own supporters, while Oldham will back themselves to cause problems on the break. Rico Lewis played at right-back, but when City were in possession he tucked infield and supported the midfield pairing of Mateo Kovacic and Reijnders.

Individual moments of quality could tip the balance. Both sides possess players capable of producing something out of nothing, and a single flash of brilliance may be all that separates them. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance. Despite these links, United will not be parting ways with the Slovenian striker.

With the sides closely matched, the outcome may well hinge on which team takes its chances on the day. With the sides so closely matched, a 1-1 stalemate looks the most likely way this one ends. Whatever the outcome, the League Two fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. Joe Gomez is expected to miss the start of Liverpool's Premier League campaign through injury - but it is not likely to impact the Reds' transfer plans.
