Disaster struck Northampton last season as they could not defend their status as a League One team. With 23 defeats from 46 games, and only 11 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Northampton Town are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W8 D5 L10.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Northampton handle that role? We have found eight games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are three wins, two draws and three defeats.

The manager J. Brady will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Coventry City in only four days.
