Stourbridge vs Northampton Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Northern Premier Division meets League One on Sunday afternoon as these two unlikely opponents face each other in the second round of the FA Cup – such is the nature of the competition. It will be interesting to see how Northampton approach this potential banana-skin of a tie.

From a betting point of view, purely on the difference in class, it is hard to oppose the visitors. However, the bet to be on is ‘Both Teams to Score’ at 4/5.

The hosts may be operating at a lower level, but they’ve scored with great frequency of late. In front of a jam-packed stadium the hosts are fancied to prove a threat and it would be no surprise if they found the net. After all, they’ve scored in all but one of their home matches this season, netting 14 in their last five in front of a home crowd.

Naturally, as the side playing at a higher level, you’d expect a Northampton goal here too. The visitors have scored in all but three of their away matches this season, although considering this is against League One opposition, not much should be taken from these three shut-outs.

An interesting match lies ahead here. The hosts will be excited to test themselves against classier opposition and, given their strong form, will fancy their chances of making it a good game.
