Northampton vs Colchester Predictions

• Northampton won 13 of their 23 games at Sixfields last season.
• Colchester lost four of their final eight away games in League Two last term.
• Three of these defeats were to nil, while Northampton kept a clean sheet in three of their final five home games.

Cobblers set for winning start

Northampton suffered promotion heartbreak last season as they missed out on the top three on goal difference before losing in the play-offs.

Jon Brady’s side picked up 13 wins at 23 matches at Sixfields over the course of the campaign and have strengthened with the likes of Danny Hylton from Luton.

Colchester, meanwhile, have had a shocking pre-season, losing friendlies to Millwall and Charlton before drawing with Non-League Southend and Ebbsfleet.

Wayne Brown’s side lost four of their final eight on the road last season and have lost first-choice goalkeeper Shamal George this summer.

I predict that Northampton will get the season off to a good start with a win, with 2-0 to the hosts my correct score prediction.
