  • Oldham's comeback shifts promotion odds dynamics.

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.
