History of the Notts. County v Northampton Town fixture

Northampton face a trip to Notts. County at Meadow Lane on Tuesday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 18 out of 23 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2005, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Two match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

A creditable return from recent away games for Cobblers could well see them head back from Meadow Lane with a share of the spoils, think the FootyMad panel. Score draw
