Northampton Town

DWWDLL ⚖

Northampton Town won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 1-2 League One loss in their previous game against Leyton Orient.

The only name on the scoresheet from Northampton Town was Tom Eaves (60'). Dominic Ballard (10') and James Morris (47') scored for Leyton Orient.

It has been seldom in recent games that Northampton Town haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Northampton Town have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 10 goals along the way.

Ahead of this clash, Northampton Town haven't been beaten in the league by Port Vale in their last 2 games.

Port Vale

WLDLLD

In their last fixture, Port Vale drew 1-1 in the League One tie with Reading.

The only scorer from Port Vale was Martin Sherif (96'). Lewis Wing (39') scored for Reading.

The stats don’t lie, and Port Vale have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 12 goals in all. Defensively, Port Vale have not been doing too well. We will have to see if that trend will end up being sustained here.

Heading into this contest, Port Vale are winless against Northampton Town when having played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.

👥 Head to head

If we look at their past head to head meetings going back to 08/02/2020, there is nothing to separate the two clubs with Northampton Town winning 2 of those games, Port Vale 2 and 2 being draws in regulation time.

Also, the lack of goals in those games was pretty extraordinary, with a tally of 5 scored between them overall.

The previous league contest featuring these clubs was League One match day 11 on 04/10/2025 which finished with the scoreline of Port Vale 0-0 Northampton Town.

The match was refereed by Martin Woods.

💡 Prediction

Port Vale and Northampton Town are both capable of scoring here.

Let’s see what happens, but it could well be that we end up with scores level. That is why we are leaning toward a tight encounter with a 1-1 score draw when the full-time whistle blows.
