York City vs Northampton Preview

All eyes will be on York Community Stadium as York City and Northampton Town lock horns for a place in the FA Cup second round. The Minstermen are expected to have the backing of their home fans, but they need to bounce back from a disappointing 5-2 defeat to Grimsby in League Two. Changes to the starting XI are on the cards, with both Malcolm and Maguire pushing for recalls. York have been relatively solid at home, conceding just one goal per game on average in their last six matches in front of their supporters.

Northampton, meanwhile, are eager to make amends for a narrow 1-0 defeat to Oldham Athletic, a game in which they registered 1.03 expected goals. The Cobblers have struggled for consistency this season, particularly in the final third, and have failed to score in four of their last ten matches. Midfielder Liam Shaw remains sidelined through injury, while Elliott List is pushing for a starting berth.

As York have turned their stadium into a real fortress, Home Win is our main betting tip for this FA Cup matchup. Additionally, Under 3.5 goals and York to Win to Nil bets seem appealing as Northampton average just 1.00 goal per away game.

This FA Cup match will be played on Saturday, 7 November 2026 at 15:00 in York`s LNER Community Stadium, York.
