Accrington ST Vs Northampton: League Two match preview

Accrington ST welcome Northampton to the Wham Stadium on Saturday 31 October at 15:00 GMT with clear recent-form momentum: Accrington are unbeaten in their last five league games (three wins, two draws) and have collected 11 points while scoring 11 and conceding 2; Northampton arrive having taken seven points from their last five with five goals scored and three conceded. That difference in short-term form and Accrington’s higher league position set the tone for a fixture that could consolidate Accrington’s top-half push and give Northampton a chance to arrest a season that has them 19th after 11 matches.

Fan Banter prediction · 90 minutes

90‑minute pick: Accrington ST to win.

Accrington’s unbeaten five-game run — three wins, two draws, 11 goals scored and only two conceded — and their higher league position (9th v 19th) make them the sensible choice on form alone; Northampton have shown they can win at home but come in with fewer recent points and a slimmer goals return.
