Northampton Town form and stats

Northampton Town are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the League One, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). Three has not been a lucky number for Northampton as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Cheltenham Town match.

The game before that, in the League One, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Barnsley.

Northampton are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats. From a total of 4 matches.

A new game in only three days for Northampton Town, the League One home match versus Reading. Busy days.

The attacking power of Northampton Town when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away.
