Northampton vs Stockport Predictions

• BTTS landed in each of Stockport’s last four away league matches.
• Northampton won four of their five home league games this term.
• Northampton’s games have averaged a league-high 3.2 goals per-match.

Kicking off the League Two schedule in style

While Stockport languish in 16th place in League Two, they’ve played much better than that in truth. The visitors have netted in every away game this season barring an EFL Trophy trip to Port Vale, so they should at least manage to trouble Northampton’s backline, even if they do struggle to defeat the promotion-chasers at Sixfields.

Northampton come into this protecting a run of three consecutive league wins, all while scoring eight times in the process! The failed play-off semi-finalists of last season look good value to go one better judging by the early pace (W6, D2, L1), so we’re not particularly worried about them holding up their end of the bargain.

Stockport boss Dave Challinor won his only personal H2H with Jon Brady’s Northampton, a 2-1 success with Hartlepool before he was head hunted for this job. We expect a similar scoreline this time around, albeit in favour of the promotion-chasing hosts.
