As England’s third-tier begins to reach the business end of the season, battles at both ends of the table begin to heat up. With both the top and the bottom of the table still to close to call, a single point could see any side jump up several places. On that note, promotion hopefuls Shrewsbury will travel to relegation candidates Northampton on Tuesday night.

For the hosts on Tuesday night, like last season, Northampton have once again found themselves at the heart of a relegation battle. After 37 League One matches this season, Northampton have recorded ten wins, 9 draws and they have lost the remaining 18. Scoring 35 and conceding 60 in reply, Northampton now boast the worst goal ratio in the whole of League One. Currently sat 21st in the table, Northampton are now just a single point above falling into the drop zone. As for their recent form, their poor run of results has shown no signs of coming to an end anytime soon. Northampton have not won any of their last five matchups, losing two and drawing three. Northampton have also now only registered one clean sheet in their last 18 attempts.

As for the visitors, after only avoiding relegation by two points last season, Shrewsbury now remain in the driving seat to book their place in the Championship next season. After 36 League One matches this season, Shrewsbury have won 22, drawn 8 and lost only six. Scoring 49 and conceding just 27 in return, Shrewsbury also hold the second best defensive record in the league. Now sat second in the table, they now hold a three-point buffer over third place Wigan Athletic, they’re also just two points behind league leaders Blackburn, however, a win on Tuesday will see them move to top spot. As for their recent form, Shrewsbury are unbeaten in their last five matches, they have also won their last four consecutive games only conceding one in that time.
