History of the Swindon Town v Northampton Town fixture

Northampton travel to take on Swindon Town at County Ground on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 32 out of 47 times.

The last time the two teams met at Swindon Town was back in September 2002, over five years ago, with Swindon Town running out comfortable 2 - 0 winners in a League Division Two match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

An indifferent set of results for Northampton on the road, and I believe this game is only going to yield a solitary point for the Cobblers. No-score draw
