Overall Record

Played: 99

There has been very little to separate the two sides over the years. From 99 competitive meetings, both Northampton Town and Newport County have recorded 38 victories, with the other 23 encounters ending all square.

League Record

The vast majority of meetings have come in league competition, with the two clubs facing each other 95 times.

The Cobblers have won 34, drawn 23 and lost 38 of those league encounters, scoring 166 goals and conceding 126.

Cup Meetings

Away from league action, the two sides have met on just four occasions.

Those cup encounters have all gone the way of Northampton, with the Cobblers winning all four, scoring 11 goals and conceding just two.

Last Meeting

The most recent meeting between Northampton and Newport came on 7 April 2023, when the Cobblers made the trip to Newport in League Two.

It proved to be a disappointing afternoon for Town, with Newport County running out 3-0 winners.

Last Meeting at Sixfields

Earlier in the same season, Newport visited Sixfields on 29 October 2022.

There was nothing to separate the two sides on that occasion, with the League Two encounter finishing 1-1.

The 100th Meeting

Saturday’s clash at Sixfields will be a landmark fixture between the two clubs as Northampton Town and Newport County meet for the 100th time in competitive action.

With the overall record currently standing at 38 wins apiece, the Cobblers have the opportunity to move ahead in the head-to-head record with victory at Sixfields.
