Shrewsbury Town will be desperate to start a new winning run in the League Two when they face Northampton Town in the League Two 6. The Shrews have suffered back-to-back defeats to Rochdale and Fleetwood and have struggled to find the net, although they remain unbeaten at home in their last four. Gbode and Turner-Cooke could both sneak into the starting XI, with Shrewsbury boasting a 75% BTTS rate at home.
Northampton, meanwhile, head into Saturday's clash following back of a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Newport County. The Cobblers produced only 0.45 xG in that contest and have also struggled badly on their travels, winning none of their last four away games. Chris Hogg's troops average just 0.25 goals per away match and have failed to score in 75% of their road fixtures, suggesting another difficult attacking display could be on the cards.
As Northampton’s away games average just 1.75 goals, our main prediction leans toward Under 2.5 goals, alongside Half-Time Draw and Draw.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 12 September 2026 at 15:00.
