Northampton Town form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Northampton Town, who have the fewest scored goals (33) in League One, so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 3-5-11 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 13 away games in a row.

Northampton Town had fun at their own home (KCOM Stadium) last time out, beating Shrewsbury Town 1-0. Ryan Watson scored. Prior to that match, the Northampton manager J. Brady faced defeat when travelling to AFC Wimbledon and losing 0-1.

The attacking power of Northampton Town when travelling is not overwhelming with 17 goals scored from 19 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Northampton have conceded 32 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
