Recent respective form guides

Northampton Town need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. Cobblers have conceded a disappointing 9 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Swansea City's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. A generous 9 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Northampton find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 18 points from their 15 matches. Swansea City's total of 24 points from their 15 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League One.
