• Competition: England - League One
• Date: Tuesday, 4th, March 2025
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Sixfields Stadium (Northampton)

Stockport continues their push for automatic promotion as they travel to struggling Northampton for Tuesday’s League One action at Sixfields Stadium.

Facing a relegation-threatened Exeter in Saturday afternoon action, Northampton were on the brink of claiming vital three points, but their efforts were undone when they conceded a 1-1 equalizer just three minutes before the full-time whistle. The disappointing draw saw the Cobblers stuck in 18th place, with only a fragile four-point lead separating them from the danger zone.

On the other hand, Stockport have successfully put their pursuit of automatic promotion back on track, with all the credit going to super-sub Benony Andresson, who struck a brace to lead his team to a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory over Blackpool. Boasting a 60-point tally from 34 third-tier tasks, the Hatters occupy fourth, a mere four points off second-placed Wycombe.

Northampton vs Stockport Betting Tips : DRAW

Even though the two teams sit at opposite ends of the table, we believe the gap in quality between them isn’t as wide as it seems, so it wouldn’t surprise us if the result mirrors that of the reverse fixture, where the teams ended up sharing the spoils in a 1-1 draw. There's no doubt that Stockport is in much better form than their Tuesday hosts, yet their visits to Sixfields Stadium offer little to cheer about, as they've been thoroughly outplayed by the Cobblers in their last four meetings here, conceding 10 goals and scoring just once. Northampton are having an underwhelming season and they need to step up their home performances if they are to salvage their campaign and ensure survival, and we believe they will do enough here to keep promotion-chasing Stockport at bay and secure some valuable points.
