Northampton Town Preview – Can Cobblers pick up vital win?
Having managed to pick up just two wins out of their last 16 matches overall in League One, Northampton Town now find themselves in the relegation mire of the third tier, sitting third from bottom in the division and facing a local derby with Oxford United on Tuesday night.
Both of Northampton’s aforementioned wins were recorded at their Sixfields Stadium in the shape of wins against Plymouth Argyle and Portsmouth in 2-0 and 4-1 victories respectively, but aside from these, there’s been very little for Cobblers fans to cheer about.
Perhaps the most worrying aspect of Northampton’s results during this period is the fact that 10 of these 16 matches have sen The Cobblers fail to hit the back of the net and with a fairly average looking home record of 5-4-9 14/22 to date, the hosts may well be fearing the worst here.
Oxford United Preview – Can U’s bounce back?
A disappointing 2-0 defeat at home to Blackpool on the weekend resulted in Oxford United dropping down to 11th place on the League One ladder but The U’s still only trail the play-off pack by a three-point margin and a win at Sixfields Stadium on Tuesday night could see them swap with Charlton Athletic into 6th place.
Recent results for Oxford United though haven’t been entirely convincing as the visitors have gained just two wins out of their last nine matches overall which came in the form of wins against Swindon Town and Doncaster Rovers but three defeats and four draws suggest an away win here could be in the balance.
Oxford have also been rather hit and miss on their travels this season too as their record of 7-4-7 27/27 indicates, but they’ve lost just two of their last 12 matches on the road and look the more likely to collect the points here.
