LWLLWW

Northampton Town will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following the 2-1 EFL Trophy victory over Shrewsbury Town.

For Northampton Town, the scorers were Kamarai Swyer (29') and Conor McCarthy (78'). Tommy McDermott (37') was the scorer for Shrewsbury Town.

It has been seldom in recent times where Northampton Town have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Northampton Town have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 7 goals in the process.

Cardiff City

LWLWLW 🎢

Cardiff City go into this encounter following on from a 3-1 EFL Trophy win in the defeat of Arsenal U23 in their last fixture.

The only scorer from Cardiff City was Troy Perrett (19').

The numbers tell their own story, and Cardiff City have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, conceding 8 goals overall. Defensively, Cardiff City can certainly do much better. Regardless, we will just have to wait and see if that trend shall be sustained in this next game.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Looking at the statistics for their head to head meetings stretching back to 18/09/2001, both clubs have shared the honours with Northampton Town winning 3 of those games, Cardiff City 3 and 0 being drawn in regulation time.

A combined total of 15 goals were scored between the two sides throughout the course of those matches, with 8 from The Cobblers and 7 for The Bluebirds. That’s an average goals per game of 2.5.

💭 Prediction

When taking everything into account, Northampton Town could find themselves struggling to be putting a goal past this Cardiff City side who we reckon should get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

That’s why we have predicted a very competitive game with a 0-1 victory for Cardiff City at the end of this game.

Let’s see how this one goes.
