Northampton Town

Northampton Town wonโt want a repeat of their last result here following the 3-0 League One losing effort in their last game against Crawley Town.
Rushian Hepburn-Murphy (39'), Jeremy Kelly (66') and Kamari Doyle (88') scored for Crawley Town.
Kevin Nolan's Northampton Town have managed to score a sum total of 9 times in their last 6 outings. At the other end, the tally of goals that they have conceded in that time stands at 8.
Analysis of their past results shows that Northampton Town:
- have left without a victory over Wigan Athletic in their last 4 league games.
- are undefeated in their last 2 league matches at home.
Wigan Athletic
DDDWWD ๐
In their previous fixture, Wigan drew 1-1 in the League One match with Blackpool.
The only name on the scoresheet from Wigan Athletic was Jon Mellish (3'). Lee Evans (74') scored for Blackpool.
Clashes featuring Wigan Athletic have ended up being rather turgid ones latterly with a scarcity of goals becoming an established trait. During their past 6 clashes, the trivial gross goal return of 6 has been recorded between both them and their opposition at an average goals per game of 1.
Going into this one, Wigan Athletic haven't been beaten by Northampton Town in games played away from home for the previous 5 league games. A very good record, indeed.

Head to head
A look at their prior head to head clashes going back to 01/01/2018 tells us that Northampton Town have won 1 of these games and Wigan 4, with the number of drawn games standing at 1.
In all, 15 goals were produced between them throughout the course of those matches, with 6 for The Cobblers and 9 netted by The Latics. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.5.
The last league fixture featuring these clubs was League One match day 11 on 26/11/2024 which finished with the scoreline of Wigan Athletic 2-1 Northampton Town.
The match was refereed by Aaron Bannister.
