And that could be a key factor with one point separating the two rivals in League One.
Latics are ninth and Town two spots above them but Dave Penney's have looked very strong defensively so far this season with five clean sheets in seven games.
Last week's 2-0 success at Brighton saw the side back on track after a slip-up the previous home game against Southampton.
Penney said: "I've been pleased with our away form this season. We could have picked up a few more points, but we're up in ninth with 14 games gone, and we're in a good position to kick on."
But he's aware of the danger Huddersfield could present, having won two out of their last three league games 4-0.
Oldham league form: WDDLW
Huddersfield league form: LLWLW
Key opponent: Jordan Rhodes - striker already has 11 goals this season
Prediction: Oldham 2 Huddersfield 2 - with both sides closely matched this could be a cracker
