History of the Bristol City v Oldham Athletic fixture

Bristol City prepare to entertain Oldham Athletic at Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, having won 13 and lost only 3 of the 22 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ashton Gate was less than a year ago, in April 2006, the Robins carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League One match.
