- Competition: League One
- Date: Tuesday, 3rd December 2024
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
- Venue: Lamex Stadium (Stevenage)
On Tuesday night at Lamex Stadium, we will have an interesting match between Stevenage and Northampton. It is too early to talk about possible relegation, and while both teams look more like mid-table teams, they are only a few points ahead of the drop zone, and every point could matter in the end.
Stevenage hoped for a similar season after a solid ninth position last year, but it seems they will have much more problems. The team from Lamex Stadium struggled in the previous few weeks as they won only one of the last eight matches in all competitions. In the last match, Stevenage lost 1-0 at home in the FA Cup against Mansfield.
Most of Northampton's season was disappointing, except for one good stretch of games during October. Since then, Northampton have won only one of the previous eight matches in all competitions. In the last League One round, Jon Brady's team lost 2-1 on the road against Wigan. The home side finished the match with xG of 2.01, while guests had only 0.98, so it is no wonder Northampton suffered another defeat.
Stevenage vs Northampton pick: Under 2.5 goals
Stevenage scored only three goals in the last five matches. On the other hand, Northampton scored one goal in the previous three games. We should expect this game to be low-scoring.

Northampton team news
Northampton have had big problems with injuries lately. Interestingly, they don't have any long-term injuries. Still, Harvey Lintott, Patrick Brough, Ali Koiki, Luke Mbete, Callum Morton, Aaron McGowan, and Jordan Willis are all questionable to play in the upcoming tie against Stevenage.
