Northampton Town form and stats

Northampton Town's results here at PTS Academy Stadium in the League One have been very modest with 3 victories, 3 draws and 8 defeats. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Northampton, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

A goal frenzy last time out for Northampton Town, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Milton Keynes Dons. Fun stuff to watch!

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 as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Northampton Town has won seven of these, drawn two and lost three.

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