History of the Cheltenham Town v Northampton Town fixture

Northampton face a trip to Cheltenham Town at Whaddon Road on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Cobblers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them with only a 14.29% success rate in the fixture.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2008, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League One match.
