Northampton vs Barnsley Predictions

• Both teams have scored in six of Northampton’s last seven games
• Barnsley have kept one clean sheet on the road since September
• The visitors have won only one of their last 11

Can Northampton salvage some pride?

Northampton have already seen their relegation to League Two confirmed, with a nine-game losing streak leaving them bottom of the third tier. They face two final home games, aiming to restore some pride, starting with Tuesday’s clash with Barnsley.

The visitors are stuck in midtable, and they haven’t had much to enjoy of late. The 15th-placed side ended a six-game winless run with a 3-1 win at Rotherham earlier this month, but they’ve picked up only two points in the four games since.

For all their struggles, Northampton still carry some threat in the final third. Six of their last seven have finished with both sides scoring, as have five of their previous seven home matches.

Barnsley have conceded in 91% of their League One trips this season, managing one clean sheet on their travels since the start of September. The Tykes have conceded five goals across their four visits to the bottom five, so Northampton should cause them problems.

Both teams have scored in the last six meetings between these two sides, and that streak can continue on Tuesday.
