Ahead of Saturdays visit to Stadium:MK we look at the storylines leading up to the game.
First win at Stadium:MK
Saturdays Visit will be the Cobblers 10th visit to Stadium:MK. In those 9 visits the Cobblers have never came away with all 3 points.
In 5 of those 9 games they have never scored a goal in those games. The most goals we’ve scored at Stadium:MK is 3 and that was in the 5-3 lost in league One in 2017 under Justin Edinburgh.
Saturdays game could see the Cobblers first 3 points with the indicators on for the Cobblers to turn that corner.
How many more?
This is the two Clubs fourth meeting this season as the clubs played each other twice in the Papa Johns Trophy earlier this season.
This is our second visit to Stadium:MK this year with our first coming on the 12th of January in the last 16 of the Papa Jons Trophy where the Dons knocked us out in a comfortable 2-0 win.
You can view our last six meetings here.
Old Faces
Ryan Watson faces familiar ground as Ryan Played for the Dons in 2018 where he made over 22 appearances for them before rejoining the Cobblers.
Lee Nicholls we also be a familiar face to the Cobblers fans, however been spending most of this season on the bench its unlikely we will see him own Saturdays afternoon. Nicholls made 51 appearances for Northampton Town, achieving 20 clean sheets. Andy Fisher also an Ex-Cobbler has replaced Nicholls for number 1.
You can view more players that have played for both here.
Out of the Bottom four
On Tuesday night the Cobblers 0-0 draw with Ipswich moved them to the top of the relegation zone with 25 points equal to AFC Wimbledon.
Saturdays result could mean the Cobblers move up out of the Relegation zone. Games we need to watch are Peterborough v AFC Wimbledon, hoping our rivals can do us a favour.
Rochdale V Plymouth, we need Plymouth to keep Rochdale at bay, but with free scoring and conceding Rochdale that could end up 5-5.
Gillingham v Bristol Rovers, With Bristol Rovers beating Portsmouth on Tuesday night, that result maybe won’t go our way either.
The one thing the Cobblers need to make sure is to do there Job and get those three points they deserved at Ipswich.
