Northampton Town form and stats

When playing at home in the League Two, Northampton Town have managed 2 wins, 1 draw and suffered 2 defeats from 5 games.

Northampton are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Hartlepool United. Sam Hoskins (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.95/10. Hoskins scored one goal and hit one key pass.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a EFL Trophy home game that ended 1-1 versus Walsall (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties).

This is expected to be a close game, with Northampton 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 ten games. Northampton Town has won five of these, drawn three and lost two.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Northampton as they have a new game in only three days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Stevenage are visiting.

The Northampton fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 5 matches. On the other hand, Northampton have conceded 6 goals.
