Northampton Town, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 home win over Mansfield Town in their last league game, Northampton Town will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work.
It seems pretty certain that Jon Brady will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 4 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. With 5 clean sheets in their last 6 home games, they are proving tough to beat at Sixfields Stadium.
They've shown some decent form of late, being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches, with 3 of the 5 being victories for good measure.
On an individual basis, Sam Hoskins will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 19 goals in Northampton Town's 36 league games this season.
Crewe Alexandra, Recent FormCrewe Alexandra will not be too disheartened with their 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Stevenage who sit so many places above them in the table.
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. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 4 of their last 6 outings away from home. 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.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
Daniel Agyei will be hoping to create problems for Northampton Town in this one, having scored 4 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Crewe Alexandra.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 2-2 draw.
In their previous 4 encounters with The Railwaymen, Northampton have shipped at least one goal in those matches.
In the last 3 league matches against Crewe, Northampton have failed to record a victory.
Sam Hoskins will be looking to get on the scoresheet for Northampton against Crewe in this one, having netted 3 goals in the previous 5 encounters between the two.
With no real injury worries, Northampton manager Jon Brady will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Crewe manager Lee Bell has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
