Northampton Town
- Northampton Town’s 1-0 defeat at Bradford City was their fifth straight loss in League One and put the club into the relegation zone, sitting in 23rd place with 35 points from 41 games.
- The Cobblers were beaten 4-1 at Mansfield, 1-0 at Bradford and 3-1 at home by Wigan Athletic, conceding eight goals in total and failing to score in one of those matches.
- They are without a win or a draw in any of their last five in League One and have lost their previous two games at Sixfields.
Doncaster Rovers
- Doncaster Rovers responded to a 3-0 defeat at Exeter City with a 1-0 home win against Reading and have split their previous two away league games with one win and one loss.
- The Donny team are 14th in League One with 53 points from 42 matches and occupy a comfortable mid-table position.
- Owen Bailey has been in fine form of late and his 13 goals in 42 appearances this term make him an attractive odds-against pick to score any time.
Head-to-Head
The hosts have won the last two head-to-head matchups between these clubs, including a 2-1 win at the Keepmoat five months ago in League One.
Key Players
- Owen Bailey has scored 13 goals in 42 League One games for the visitors this term.
- Tom Eaves tops the Northampton scoring charts with eight goals in 30 League One appearances this season.
- Cameron McGeehan has two of Northampton’s last three goals.
Betting Insights
- Bailey’s 13 goals make him an attractive odds-against pick to score anytime.
- Doncaster can be backed at slightly better than even odds to win, given Northampton’s recent form.
Prediction
- Northampton Town are in the midst of a worrying losing streak and with Calderwood only recently installed in the dugout, we’re not going to take the hosts to do enough to stop Doncaster’s momentum.
- Doncaster Rovers are much more likely to win this game and can be backed at slightly better than even odds to do so.
