With Town's game at Northampton fast approaching, htafc.com is having a look at the facts and figures of both teams...

Town's impressive recent form

Thanks to a combination of caretaker boss Gerry Murphy and new manager Lee Clark, Town have one of the best records in League One over the past two months. The Terriers have won 7 and drawn 1 of their last 10 League games and have subsequently shot up the table to come within 5 points of the Play-Off zone.

Northampton - hard to beat

The Cobblers may have won only 1 of their last 6 games in all competitions, but they are proving to be hard to beat in recent times - they have only lost 2 of their last 8 fixtures.

Resilient at home

Stuart Gray's side have only lost 2 of their 12 home League games this campaign, which has helped them reach 14th place in the League One table. Despite only winning 5 matches at Sixfields, drawing the other 5, they still have the 9th best home record in the division.

Frantic finishes to halves

Northampton have to be watched closely when the game is coming to an end this weekend. During the last five minutes of each half, the Cobblers have scored 9 goals and conceded 10 - more than at any other time during their games.

Town had similar issues with conceding late goals at the start of the season, but since the departure of Stan Ternent the Terriers are yet to concede a League goal in the last 15 minutes of a game.

Cobblers' poor record against top half teams

Northampton's record against teams in the top half of League One is poor this season - in 12 games against teams in the top dozen of the division this season, Gray's side have won just 1, drawn 5 and lost 6.

Defensively sound

This weekend's opposition have conceded just 30 goals in the League this season - the 10th best record in League One.
