History of the Oldham Athletic v Swansea City fixture

Swansea City face a trip to Oldham Athletic at Boundary Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Swans will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them taste defeat on 13 occasions, and draw 9, from the 24 games played.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in August 2006, the Latics carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League One match.
