In a little over 4 weeks the 2017/18 football season will begin with Latics at home to Oxford. The OWTB Prediction League will begin on the same day, with participants providing their Prediction of the HT score, FT score, first Latics scorer and match attendance. With Shez and the solid base of a squad seemingly much better prepared than we have witnessed for quite some time, there is an air of optimism about the place. Will it result in a good start? Oxford on the other hand have lost their manager Michael Appleton to Leicester City, as Craig Shakespeare's assistant, and Conor McAleny returned from his loan to Everton, before signing for Fleetwood. Oxford have since appointed Pep Clotet, a Spaniard who was most recently Gary Monk's assistant at Leeds. Will they take time to gel? A quick look at the history books tell me we have faced Oxford only 30 times in our history, Latics winning 13 to Oxford's 7, with 10 draws. At home our record is Won 11, Drawn 4, Lost 0. We have in fact won the last 8 at home, with Oxford having last taken a point from Boundary Park in Nov 1984. What do you predict? If you're sufficiently intrigued, please take a look at the Prediction League Forum below. Entry is a mere £10, with prize money for the winners and runners up in the Premier League and the Championship and the winner of the OWTB Cup, with a contribution going to PlayerShare and Dr Kershaw's hospice.
