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 9, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Rotherham United's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The The Millers's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 13 goals for and 11 against.

Northampton Town are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 44 points from 42 matches.

Rotherham United's 61 points from 42 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Cobblers at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the The Millers come away with an easy victory. Away win
