Both Northampton Town and Swindon Town look to put their EFL Cup setbacks behind them and make a positive start to their League Two campaigns when the two teams at Sixfields Stadium on Saturday. Northampton have endured a nightmare run of form, losing each of their last 10 matches, while their defensive numbers are particularly alarming. The Cobblers have conceded 2.6 goals per game during that period and are yet to keep a clean sheet. Janoi Donacien is expected to miss out through injury, further reducing their defensive options.
Swindon have also struggled for consistency, losing their last four matches, but their attacking numbers offer some encouragement. The Robins have scored 1.1 goals per game across their last 10 and BTTS landed in 70% of those fixtures. Their away form is a major concern, though, with just one win in their last six away games and 2.67 goals conceded per match. Summer arrivals Matty Virtue, Mitch Clark, Stephan Negru and Kaelan Majekodunmi will be hoping to make an immediate impact. The H2H record points towards goals, with BTTS occurring in 10 of the last 12 meetings.
As BTTS landed in 83% of the last 12 H2H meetings, we believe that there is big value in betting on Both Teams to Score. Additionally, Over 1.5 goals (83% H2H) and Over 0.5 goals first half bets seem appealing.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 15 August 2026 at 15:00.
