Northampton have started the season off on the right foot, earning 23 points from their opening 17 games. They have won seven games so far, drawing two and losing eight. It is not their games which usually feature over 2.5 goals, however, in recent weeks this has become the case.
As for the Terriers, they are seeking a return to the second tier, yet have earned just one more win than Northampton, having played one extra game. Huddersfield’s matches feature more goals than any other side in the division bar Leyton Orient, however, having scored 30 goals already – only Cardiff City have more.

Football Park’s Best Bet: Over 2.5 Goals @ 2.00 - Recent form suggests confidence in a home win or draw. At 75% chance of three or more goals being scored, our algorithm and recent form of both sides suggest that this looks like great value.
Ethan Wheatley (Northampton): The 19-year-old on loan from Manchester United has proven to be a quality signing for the Cobblers so far, as he earns valuable experience while helping his side, scoring two goals so far.
Marcus Harness (Huddersfield): The ex-Ipswich midfielder has had a decent start to the campaign and may be needed to step up and help his side earn a crucial win. For wingers, he has been notably strong at tracking back, winning more aerial duels than 91% and earning more defensive contributions than 94% of his positional peers.
