Wigan Athletic are welcoming Northampton Town for another important game after their 0-2 result against 17th-placed Milton Keynes Dons.

Northampton Town form and stats
1 win, 0 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Northampton Town, who have the the worst goal difference (-11) in League One, playing as the away team in the League One this season. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Northampton are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Northampton aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 242 league minutes without a goal. D. Rose was the last player to find the net.
There might be some fixture complaints from Northampton as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the League One match against Portsmouth (0-4). The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Charlton Athletic.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Portsmouth was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Northampton Town are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, one draw and three defeats. From a total of six matches.
After this away game Northampton return home for a League One game against Milton Keynes Dons. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Northampton Town when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. The Northampton manager K. Curle has some worries about the defense as 9 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
