Northampton Town desperately need points on Saturday, Feb 27 at 4:00 PM in the League 2. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Northampton Town come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Salford City, meanwhile, arrive in red-hot form (4W from last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Northampton Town head into this on the back of a defeat, while Salford City arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Northampton Town and Salford City have split their 6 meetings almost evenly (3W–1D–2W). Their last encounter ended in Northampton Town won 1–2.

Verdict: Salford City's quality should tell even on the road. Northampton Town will push, but the visitors have too much class. Salford City to win.
