York City vs Oldham Prediction & Tips
The club has only ever won titles in the Football League Trophy, a tournament designed precisely for those not playing in the Championship, let alone the Premier League. But just a year ago they were on the brink of relegation even from the sixth national league, finishing that spring in twentieth place out of twenty-four entrants.
The club can consider itself unfortunate: it reached its peak just as the First World War broke out. A return to the top flight was only possible in the 1990s, and even then only for a short time. Since then, it has fallen steadily, though not steeply, to end up in the country’s fifth division. Last season, even there they only managed to finish in the top-10.
In the current campaign, Micky Mellon’s side have shown remarkable improvement. They closed the regular season without the best results, winning only two of their last seven matches. However, they finished fourth and started the play-offs with a convincing 4-0 win over Halifax Town.
