Northampton Town form and stats

Northampton Town's results here at PTS Academy Stadium in the League One have been very modest with 4 victories, 4 draws and 8 defeats.

Northampton's last game was hosting Plymouth Argyle (placed 12th) and winning 2-0. Heartbreak before that as Northampton lost 1-2 at Swindon Town's place.

The manager K. Curle will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Charlton Athletic in only three days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Northampton here at PTS Academy Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (10 from 16 games). 20 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Portsmouth form and stats

Portsmouth's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Portsmouth collect 29 points from their 14 away matches in the League One. 9 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 3 defeats).

Portsmouth lost away at Doncaster Rovers (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Gillingham.

A new game in only three days for Portsmouth, the League One home match versus Sunderland. Busy days.

The travelling fans enjoy Portsmouth's attacking play in away games, having scored 25 goals in 14 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Portsmouth as they have only conceded 13 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

The last H2H meeting was Portsmouth - Northampton 4-0, played this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - zero - six (Northampton wins - draws - Portsmouth wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
