Northampton prepare to entertain Bournemouth at Sixfields on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Cobblers are clearly on top, winning 56.25% of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sixfields was just last season, in December 2007, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a League One match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Cobblers at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Cherries come away with an easy victory. Away win
