History of the Northampton Town v Boston United fixture

Northampton prepare to entertain Boston United at Sixfields on Monday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. All the previous meetings between the two have been won by the Cobblers.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sixfields was less than a year ago, in December 2004, the Cobblers carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League Two match.

Northampton see themselves just below half way in the Coca Cola League Two, showing a record of 6 points from their 5 games played so far, Boston Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 3 points from 5 matches.
