Northampton prepare to entertain Leyton Orient at Sixfields on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Cobblers are clearly on top, having won 20 and lost only 6 of the 34 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sixfields was less than a year ago, in February 2006, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Two match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its not been a very profitable last few weeks for Northampton, and I'm afraid the Footymad team cannot see it getting too much better here. Look no further than honours being even at the end of this one. No-score draw

| Northampton | Failed to win in previous 3 home matches. Not won in the 4 most recent games. |
