- 奥尔德姆在附加赛中战胜了哈利法克斯和约克。
- 绍森德在之前的两场附加赛中都需要额外的时间。
- 拉丁队已经连续三场比赛没有失球。
拉丁裔和虾人争夺EFL回归
周日,奥尔德姆竞技队和绍森德联队将在温布利举行的全国联赛附加赛决赛中相遇,届时将争夺联赛二的最后剩余席位。
奥尔德姆希望结束两年的足球联赛缺席,而绍森德在过去三个赛季都在英格兰足球的第五梯队度过。
两队都将在温布利得到很好的支持,在两队球迷的呼吁下,这场比赛的容量已提高到50000人。
索森德在常规赛对阵奥尔德姆的两场比赛中获得了四分,但拉丁裔在季后赛中提高了他们的水平。
这支西北球队在第一场附加赛中以4比0击败哈利法克斯,随后以3比0战胜约克。战胜明斯特门队的比赛尤其令人印象深刻,约克以96分排名第二,其中53分来自他们的23场主场比赛。
相比之下,绍森德不得不在加时赛中从3-1落后的情况下反击,击败罗奇代尔,他们在点球大战后被森林绿队带到了全程。
因此,支持奥尔德姆在90分钟内获胜对我们的主要赌注来说是有吸引力的,拉丁队以2比0获胜是正确的得分预测。奥尔德姆已经三场比赛没有失球,而绍森德偶尔会在进攻中挣扎;他们在过去的六场比赛中有两场没有得分,在过去的九场全国联赛失利中也没有得分。
奥尔德姆的乔·普里查德在阿灵顿的英甲联赛中度过了三个赛季,并在职业生涯早期为博尔顿队出场几次。普里查德在MK Dons的第二联赛中开始了这个赛季,他看起来很渴望重返EFL,因为他在对阵哈利法克斯和约克的比赛中都取得了进球,他看起来是周日任何时候努力的有力竞争者。

Latics and Shrimpers battle for EFL return
The final remaining place in League Two will be claimed on Sunday as Oldham Athletic and Southend United meet in the National League play-off final at Wembley.
Oldham are looking to end a two-year absence from the Football League, while Southend have spent the last three seasons in the fifth tier of English football.
Both teams will be well supported at Wembley and the capacity has been raised to 50,000 for this game after an appeal from both sets of fans.
Southend claimed four points from their two games against Oldham during the regular season but the Latics have raised their levels in the play-offs.
The north west outfit brushed Halifax aside 4-0 in their first play-off game and followed that up with a 3-0 win at York. The win over the Minstermen was particularly impressive, as York finished the season in second place with 96 points, 53 of which came from their 23 home games.
In contrast, Southend had to fight back from 3-1 down to beat Rochdale in extra time and they were taken the full distance by Forest Green as they prevailed after penalties.
As such, backing Oldham to win in 90 minutes appeals for our main bet and a 2-0 win for the Latics is the correct score prediction. Oldham have gone three games without conceding and when Southend do occasionally struggle in attack – they’ve failed to score in two of their last six games and have failed to score in each of their last nine National League defeats.
Oldham’s Joe Pritchard has spent three seasons in League One with Accrington and made a couple of Championship appearances for Bolton earlier in his career. Pritchard started the season in League Two with MK Dons and he looks eager to get back into the EFL as he scored against both Halifax and York, and he looks a good contender for an anytime effort on Sunday.
