Sixfields Stadium will host Saturday's League Two clash between Northampton Town and Rotherham United. The Cobblers aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Shrewsbury, having beaten Newport 1-0 in their last home game. The return of experienced midfielder Lee Evans from suspension is a major boost for the hosts, although Northampton have won just 20% of their last five at Sixfields and average only 0.80 goals per game there.
The Millers, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Salford, registering 20 goal attempts and nine shots on target. Rotherham have conceded two goals per game in their last 10 matches and have kept no clean sheets in that period. Midfielder Ossama Ashley is doubtful after picking up a knock against Salford.
Considering that five of the previous six H2H meetings produced at least two goals, our main prediction leans toward Over 1.5 goals, alongside BTTS (Rotherham’s recent matches have been particularly open, with BTTS landing in 80% of their last 10 and 75% of their away games).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 19 September 2026 at 15:00.
