Northampton vs Peterborough prediction 09.12.2024 | League One

• Competition: League One
• Date: Monday, 9th December 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Sixfields Stadium (Northampton)

The 2024/25 season could be the one in which Northampton will again lose their League One status. After 18 league matches, they have 18 points and are one position below the relegation line. At the moment, Northampton are in the run of six games without a win in all competitions. In the previous match, they lost 2-0 on the road against Stevenage. The home side finished the clash with 77% ball possession and 15 shots on the goal, so it is no wonder Northampton stayed empty-handed again. 

Peterborough are worse than it was in the last two seasons, as this time, it is much closer to relegation than the promotion zone. After two playoff semifinals, Peterborough is currently only three points ahead of the drop zone and needs points urgently. Peterborough has lost two of the last three matches. In the previous game, they lost 1-0 at home against Burton. The teams were pretty even, but although neither of the sides created much, guests found a way to score and pick up all three points. 

Northampton vs Peterborough pick: Over 2.5 goals

Northampton are solid in scoring at the home stadium (nine goals in the last matches at Sixfields Stadium). On the other hand, there were three or more goals in five of the previous six Peterborough games. We should expect a high-scoring tie between Northampton and Peterborough on Monday night.
