Northampton Town and Gillingham should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Northampton Town form and stats
With 2 League One wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Northampton Town, who have the the worst goal difference (-19) in League One, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Northampton Town with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Fleetwood Town game, 28 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Northampton are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at PTS ACADEMY STADIUM, having lost their two previous games here.
Stress levels are on the rise for Northampton's attacking players as they have now played 267 minutes without scoring in a league game. R. Holmes was their last goal scorer.
Northampton's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-4 versus Lincoln City (placed 2nd). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Oxford United (0-4).
Northampton were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League One game versus Sunderland in only four days. This game is also played here at PTS ACADEMY STADIUM.
The lack of attacking qualities in Northampton means that they have only scored 5 goals in 10 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Northampton have conceded 16 from these games.
Gillingham form and stats
As the visiting team in League One matches, Gillingham have produced an overall stat of 4-1-3 so far.
Two travels in a row for Gillingham, whose manager S. Evans could celebrate last time after the League One win against Rochdale. A loss against Accrington Stanley was the result prior to that, in a home game.
Gillingham are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 12 times in 8 away games so far. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Gillingham have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Northampton two wins, two draws and Gillingham six victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
