Northampton vs Fleetwood Prediction & Betting Tips (9 December)

Fleetwood bring some phenomenal form into this fixture, having secured 13 victories in their last 18 League One matches, including five in a row recently. The picture has been a very different one as far as Northampton are concerned of late, with a run of seven defeats in nine games doing little to boost their survival chances in what threatens to be a hard-fought battle.

It would be fair to say that Northampton are rarely involved in low-scoring encounters in the League One, as 13 of their most recent 15 matches have produced at least two goals. Given that nine of the previous 12 Fleetwood away games at this level have followed the same pattern, it would come as a surprise were this crucial contest not to deliver over 2.5 goals.

Both teams have found the net in 11 of the most recent 15 Fleetwood away games in the League One, so Fleetwood can hardly be accused of keeping things tight when they take to the road. Northampton have been similarly entertaining on their own patch of late, with nine of their last 12 top-flight fixtures delivering goals at both ends, so clean sheets could prove hard to come by.
