Northampton Town form and stats

There's been little loot from Northampton Town's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 7 away games in the League One. Northampton Town only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 0 draws. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Northampton are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Northampton Town, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Bristol Rovers (placed 13th). Monthe was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.44. The defender Monthe scored one goal and won 6 of 6 duels.

A draw for Northampton before that, at their own venue hosting Leyton Orient (2-2).

After this away game Northampton Town return home for a FA Cup game against Barrow. That game is only four sleeps after this.

The visitors have scored 6 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Northampton Town have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Stats for the former four meetings involving these two teams are: two wins for County, one draw and one win for Northampton Town. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
