Northampton Town form and stats

The hosts won their first League Two game here at PTS Academy Stadium, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Northampton Town last season were 8 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses from 23 games.

The Northampton Town goalkeeper Liam Roberts is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 364 minutes without conceding a goal in the League Two.

A strong away win for Northampton Town against Colchester United the last match, as Jon Guthrie were on target. Jon Guthrie, defender, was given a rating of 8.43/10 in that game, top of the team. Guthrie scored one goal and won 9 of 10 duels.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Coventry City and winning 2-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Northampton have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost two.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as AFC Wimbledon are coming to town in three days.

Early season league goal statistics from Northampton Town's 1 home game: 1 goal, 0 conceded.

Rochdale form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the League Two ended in defeat. Last season Rochdale had these away match statistics: Played 23; won 7, drew 5 and lost 11.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a League Two home defeat versus Forest Green Rovers with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Midfielder Corey O'Keeffe was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.44. O'Keeffe served one assist and hit two key passes.

Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Scunthorpe United.

We have checked recent matches where Rochdale have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were four victories, three draws and three defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Rochdale manager R. Stockdale as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Shrewsbury Town.

2 goals so far away for Rochdale, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head

Northampton Town-Rochdale H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Northampton zero wins, Rochdale five wins, five draws. five of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
