History of the Boston United v Northampton Town fixture

Northampton face a trip to Boston United at York Street Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to break their duck against the hosts. Both of the previous encounters have resulted in a drawn game.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in December 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Boston United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Pilgrims's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.

Northampton's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. A generous 8 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Boston Utd.'s 46 points from 33 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Northampton lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League Two, picking up 49 from their 32 games so far.
