Northampton vs Cardiff Predictions

The league table shows these sides’ contrasting fortunes, with Cardiff possessing a clear edge in the standings, and they are the best bet to get an away win at Northampton on Saturday.

Fourth-placed Cardiff are 11 places above Northampton in the table, with six points separating the two sides, but they have played one fewer game. Cardiff have won eight of their 14 matches, while Northampton have six wins.

The home team have looked vulnerable at the back, with Northampton failing to keep a clean sheet in six of their last eight League One games. They have been unable to keep their opponents at bay in five straight league matches.

The hosts’ struggles in front of goal will be a concern for Northampton, who have only managed to find the back of the net eight times at home this season in League One.

Cardiff can edge this, with a 1-0 correct score in favour of the visitors looking like a decent bet. No League One team has had fewer BTTS games than Northampton this term (just four in 15 matches) and they have been beaten by a single goal in two of their last three matches.
