Recent respective form guides

Northampton Town's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Cobblers have scored 10, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.

Stevenage's away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. Those games have seen the Boro pummel 11 goals, and let in 4.

Northampton Town are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 46 points from 44 matches.

Stevenage's total of 68 points from their 44 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Npower League Two.
