Oldham away this Sunday - Match Preview
06/08/2026
Sheffield Eagles are back on the road this weekend in the Betfred Championship as we travel to Boundary Park to take on Oldham RLFC.
With just four games remaining in the regular season, Craig Lingard's side will be aiming to extend their excellent run of form after making it six consecutive victories with last Sunday's impressive 48-16 home win over Halifax Panthers.
The Eagles remain firmly in the hunt for a top six finish and will be looking to make it seven wins in a row. However, they face a stern test against an Oldham side eager to respond after suffering a heavy defeat to Doncaster last time out.
Before Sunday's loss at the Club Doncaster Sports Village, Alan Kilshaw's men had put together an outstanding 17-match winning streak, underlining the quality of the challenge awaiting the Eagles.
The reverse fixture earlier this season was a closely contested affair, with Oldham edging a thrilling 36-30 victory. With the race for the play-offs entering its final stages, Sunday's clash could prove pivotal in the battle for a place in the top six.
Take a look below at everything you need to know ahead of Sunday's trip to Oldham (3pm KO).
