Wrexham AFC’s EFL League One campaign continues this weekend (Saturday 5th October 2024) as they host Northampton Town at the Racecourse Ground.
Wrexham AFC will look to close the gap on leaders Birmingham City this weekend as they take on Northampton Town. Northampton on the other hand are looking to move further away from the drop zones. This is bound to be an interesting fixture.
Wrexham AFC Predicted Lineup - Arthur Okonkwo; Sebastian Revan, Thomas O'Connor, Eoghan O'Connell, Dan Scarr, Ryan Barnett; James McClean, George Evans, George Dobson; Steven Fletcher, Jack Marriott
Wrexham currently sit second in the league on 17 points after nine games. A win here could potentially close the gap at the top to just two points.
The club has scored 14 goals this season but more impressively they have conceded just seven goals. This the third lowest in the league.
Two back to back disappointing results for them against Leyton Orient and Stevenage will make Phil Parkinson’s side more eager to win here.
Northampton Town Predicted Lineup - Lee Burge; Luke Mbete, Jon Guthrie, Jack Baldwin, Akinwale Odimayo; Cameron McGeehan, Samy Chouchane; Tariqe Fosu, Jack Sowerby, Mitch Pinnock; Tyler Roberts
Northampton are currently 19th in the table on eight points from eight games.
Their matches often provide a lot of goals having scored 10 goals and conceded 13 so far this season. Expect even more in this game.
This match is set to be the 35th competitive meeting between these two sides.
It is Wrexham that hold the advantage having won 15 matches to Northampton’s 11 wins. There have also been 8 draws.
Northampton though are unbeaten in the last three games against Wrexham. However their last meeting was back in 2006 - a lot has changed since then.
25th February 2006 - Wrexham AFC 0-1 Northampton Town - EFL League Two
13th August 2005 - Northampton Town 0-0 Wrexham AFC - EFL League Two
16th March 2002 - Northampton Town 4-1 Wrexham AFC - League Division Two
1st December 2001 - Wrexham AFC 3-2 Northampton Town - League Division Two
2nd March 2001 - Wrexham AFC 3-0 Northampton Town - League Division Two
Wrexham are playing well despite poor results in their last two matches. They will see this game as a very good way to get back on form and will most likely win.
However, Northampton have seen a lot of goals in their games as of recent so expect them to get on the scoresheet at least once. Both teams will score.
With this in mind our team of professional tipping experts are backing Wrexham AFC To Win and Both Teams To Score in this match. With odds of 11/5, £10 has the potential to return up to £32.
