Hoping to pick up an early advantage in their League Two play-off semi-final first-leg, Cheltenham Town will make the trip to Northampton Town on Thursday night.
Starting with the hosts, while Northampton may have managed to secure the final play-off spot in League Two, they were showing a worrying run of form prior to the break. In their 37 fourth-tier matches this season, they recorded 17 wins, seven draws, and 13 defeats, scoring 54 and conceding 40 in return. With a final points tally of 58, they found themselves securing that lucrative seventh spot thanks to a single point advantage over Port Vale. However, as for their previous run of results, Northampton had lost six of their last eight matches across all competitions, shipping at least a pair of goals in four of those defeats. It should also be noted that Thursday’s hosts had previously lost three of their last four League Two matchups on home soil.
As for the visitors, continuing on what was an eye-catching run of form prior to the break, Cheltenham should be confident of gaining an early advantage in midweek. In their 36 League Two matches this season, they recorded 17 wins, 13 draws, and six defeats, scoring 52 and conceding 27 in return. Finishing the interrupted campaign with a points tally of 58 and finishing just three points adrift of the automatic positions, it should also be noted that Cheltenham hold the best defensive record in the fourth-tier. As for their previous run of results, Thursday’s guests were in the midst of a seven-match League Two unbeaten run, recording six wins on that purple patch. It should also be highlighted that Cheltenham have previously landed back-to-back wins on the road.
