Northampton vs Exeter Prediction & Betting Tips (17 August)

It would be fair to say that Northampton have been struggling on their own patch of late, with eight of their previous ten League One fixtures ending in defeat, and they are currently on a run of four games without a goal as well. Exeter had not been in great form on the road themselves prior their next match, but they had still only lost once in seven.

Northampton have played 16 home games during the current League One campaign, with no fewer than 11 of these encounters serving up under 2.5 goals. Not only that, but ten of the last 12 Exeter away matches at this level have also produced no more than a couple of goals, meaning that more of the same is expected when the sides go head-to-head at the Northampton Stadium.

At least one of the two keepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 13 of the previous 17 Northampton home matches at this level, so thrilling encounters at this venue have been few and far between. What’s more, 14 of the most recent 17 Northampton away games at the top table of the League One have followed suit, including in a success at this ground last term.
