History of the Bournemouth v Oldham Athletic fixture

Bournemouth prepare to entertain Oldham Athletic at Dean Court on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having taken all the points from 14 of the 21 contests.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Dean Court was less than a year ago, in February 2005, as they swept to an impressive 4-0 win in a League One match.
