Notts County vs Northampton Town Match Analysis & Prediction
08/10/2024 9:00 pm
League Two promotion hopefuls Notts County will hope to secure their second win in their second group-stage match of the 2024-25 EFL Trophy when they face League One side Northampton Town at Meadow Lane on Tuesday night.
The hosts beat Burton Albion 2-1 in their first game of the competition on September 24 and are second with three points in their four-team group, while the visitors are yet to play a match in the tournament but are third ahead of Leicester City U21.
Notts County’s game against Burton Albion was closely fought, with the sides creating three and two big chances respectively, but goals from Kellan Gordon and Sam Austin ultimately gave the Magpies all three points.
In their most recent game, Stuart Maynard’s side lost 1-0 to Port Vale in League Two on Saturday, although the manager aired his frustration about Lorent Tolaj’s winner and said that replays showed the goal should have been ruled out for offside.
Meanwhile, Northampton head into the contest off the back of a 4-1 defeat to Wrexham in their most recent match on Saturday, and they are 20th in League One with eight points from nine matches.
Of the 24 clubs in League One, Jon Brady’s side have conceded the joint third-most goals and have only created 11 big chances in nine matches, the joint third-fewest in the division.
The Cobblers have lost their last three matches – conceding 10 goals in that period – and they have lost six, drawn three and won just one of their 10 most recent away competitive games.
Notts County vs. Northampton Town Head to head
In the previous 20 meetings between these two teams, Notts County have claimed six victories while Northampton have won seven, and they have drawn in seven. Northampton have scored 29 goals and conceded 26 in the process.
