Recent respective form guides
Northampton Town have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While Cobblers have scored 5, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.
Oxford Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. U's have conceded 10 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.
