Oldham's Remarkable Return and Market Impact

Oldham Athletic's return to the English Football League has shifted the focus in the promotion markets. 

Their victory against Southend United at Wembley, marked by a 3-2 win, defied the odds. Oldham, initially placed at 11/2 (15.4%), has proven the value of perseverance against the backdrop of more favoured contenders such as Notts County and Salford City.

The market has taken note of Oldham's strong comeback, a reminder of the shifting dynamics and potential for upsets within promotion odds. As things stand, teams positioned with favourable odds like Chesterfield at 2/1 (33.3%) lead the charge, but Oldham's journey underscores the value of considering underdogs.
