Northampton Town, Recent FormNorthampton Town manager Jon Brady will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Tranmere Rovers.
He will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. Keeping a clean sheet at home has not come easy this season, and Brady will not be happy with his team's defensive record, which shows they have shipped one or more goals in 8 their 17 home matches.
There will be mixed feelings from The Cobblers, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
On an individual basis, Sam Hoskins will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 13 goals in Northampton Town's 20 league games this season.
Carlisle United, Recent FormCarlisle United manager Paul Simpson will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Sutton United.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 10 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.
The Carlisle United travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Kristian Dennis, who's scored 5 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Carlisle United sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 2-1.
Northampton will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against The Cumbrians having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 7 meetings. During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Sixfields Stadium, The Cumbrians have been unable to break through the Northampton defence and find the back of the net. We have seen plenty of goals from The Cobblers when they play at home against Carlisle. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 9 goals, which is an average of 3 goals per game.
Carlisle have lost the last 3 times they've have visited Northampton in the league and have failed to win any of their last 3 encounters at Sixfields Stadium.
With no real injury worries, Northampton manager Jon Brady will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Carlisle manager Paul Simpson has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
