Northampton Town form and stats

Northampton Town's first League One home game here at Sixfields Stadium ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 12 wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats from 23 matches.

No payout for Northampton Town in their previous match, an away game at Wigan Athletic that ended in defeat 1-2.

Before that match, a loss in the away fixture against Swansea City in the Carabao Cup. This is expected to be a close game, with Northampton Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Northampton Town as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Northampton Town has won 2 of these, drawn 3 and lost 2.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League One game versus Peterborough United in only four days. This game is also played here at Sixfields Stadium.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Northampton Town at home in the league. 0 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Lincoln City form and stats

Lincoln City have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the League One were 7 victories, 6 draws and 10 defeats from 23 fixtures.

Lincoln are travelling after their nice 3-0 home win in the game against Wycombe Wanderers (placed 23rd).

Previously, the Carabao Cup victory away at Notts County. As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 8 similar matches played by Lincoln City in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Lincoln City, 2 draws and 4 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Lincoln manager Kennedy as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Shrewsbury Town.

Lincoln City have the goal stats of 0-3 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Lincoln City have avoided defeat in the last 5 games (4-1-0) against Northampton Town.
