Northampton Town, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 4-3 away defeat by Leyton Orient will have left the Northampton Town squad feeling a little deflated.
Manager Jon Brady will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 14 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 9 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 25 of their 31 games overall.
They have shown a solid run of form lately at Sixfields Stadium, which has seen them go unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home matches while registering 3 victories from the same run.
Bristol Rovers, Recent FormBristol Rovers will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 3-2 win in their away outing against Stevenage.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, away from home this season, they have scored in 14 of their 16 games played.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Bristol recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
Chris Martin has scored 4 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Northampton Town.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Northampton Town, losing 2-1 to Bristol Rovers.
The Pirates will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 10 encounters with Northampton. The Bristol defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit The Cobblers in the league, with Bristol conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing at home, Northampton have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Bristol. When Bristol are away to The Cobblers in the league, they know how to find the net, with 8 goals in their last 3 meetings and an average of 2.67 per game.
Bristol has won the last 3 games they've played against Northampton in the league.
