Oldham are a team we have played plenty of times this season - with marginally more success than failure, and we are backing the Latics again when they take on struggling MK Dons.

Oldham looked in some sort of flux a month ago, but Kean Bryan and Jack Byrne are back in the squad, joined by the impressive Wolves loanee Duckens Nazon, and they should be more than able to strike out against MK Dons.

Results have been a bit of a mixed bag lately for Oldham - drawing 2-2 at Blackburn last time out, and beating Bradford before that. Those followed three defeats, but with those coming against Plymouth, Shrewsbury and Peterborough, we will fogive them those.

MK have now lost four on the bounce, against Portsmouth, Walsall, Coventry and Northampton, and the manner of those defeats (plenty of second half winners) suggests they may be struggling to summon the energy to fight what is beginning to look like an inevitable relegation.

Another match which could see the home fans enjoy is Bristol Rovers v Rochdale. The Gas need to get into gear quickly if they are to recover towards a spot in the play-offs, and their home form (9 wins from 15 games) will be the most important factor if that dream is to become a reality. Rovers have also lost just once in their last eight starts - a 2-1 home defeat to Shrewsbury.

Rochdale have a similarly poor away record (9 defeats from 15 outings) and have won just once on the road all season in the league. Odds-against about the hosts looks big in this one.

Making it a hat-trick of home picks, we are firming in the Plymouth camp when they welcome AFC Wimbledon to town.

We've written plenty about the Plymouth revival, and they have now won six of their last seven at Home Park. Only Wigan have come away with a win there since November, with Northampton, Gillingham, Oldham, Walsall, Bury and Blackburn all tasting defeat.

AFC Wimbledon come here on the back of three successive defeats (to Northampton 3-1, Bury 2-1 and Rotherham 2-0), and have won just once in nine away matches. They shouldn't have too much hope in this encounter.
