Northampton Town Preview – Cobblers to crash to another defeat?
On the whole, Keith Curle’s Northampton Town, who were promoted from the fourth tier last term, have had a tricky start to their season. The Cobblers have already been beaten six times in League One action, though they have managed to secure three wins.
Since back-to-back losses to big-hitters Charlton Athletic and Portsmouth, Northampton have picked up four points from their last two. Curle’s men sealed an excellent 3-2 win at Wigan Athletic before drawing 0-0 at home with MK Dons.
This will be another tough League One test for Curle’s Cobblers, but they will fancy their chances of picking up a positive result on their own patch. The bookies have the home win currently priced at 13/8.
