On Thursday, at 19:45, Northampton and Cheltenham meet in the fourth league in England, in a very important match for promotion. It is the first round of the playoff semifinals, and the hosts are favorites at home. But the Welsh at Cheltenham can get in trouble anytime!
At Sixfields Stadium comes a team that was in great shape at the time of the interruption of the competitions. Cheltenham had four wins and a draw in the previous five stages, after solid performances with Leyton Orient (2-1), Mansfield (1-0), Northampton (2-1) and Colchester (2-0). The last match brought only a white draw with Port Vale. Instead, Northampotn have lost three of their last five games.
It was 2-3 with Walsall, 1-2 with Northampton and 1-2 with Mansfield, after spectacular games, as the white-reds used to do. On a good day, Northampton can score “at their discretion”, which is why we will bet on the spectacular game here. In the league it was 1-1 at Northampton and 2-1 at Cheltenham, at home, and the “GG” bet was “green” in each of the previous four direct games.
-They have scored both teams in 8 of the last 9 direct duels;
-Cheltenham have 3 wins and a draw in the last 4 matches with Northampton;
-Northampton finished the regular season in 7th place, close to the playoffs (goal average 54-40);
-Cheltenham was 4th in the league with 6 points over Northampton;
-Cheltenham have conceded just one goal in their last four league games;
