Oldham Athletic scored four goals against Sheffield Wednesday in their final preparation for the new season, giving the Latics a confidence-boosting result. The performance matters because it provides positive momentum and evidence of attacking sharpness before competitive fixtures begin.

The match was a pre-season encounter rather than a league game, so the result does not affect either side’s standings. Nevertheless, Oldham’s four-goal display offers encouragement to players and supporters as the new campaign approaches.
