Recent respective form guides
Northampton Town have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While Cobblers have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.
Bristol Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Pirates's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 7 goals for and 6 against.
Northampton find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 10 points from their 9 matches. Bristol Rvs.'s total of 16 points from their 9 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League Two.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Cobblers at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Pirates come away with an easy victory. Away win
