Team Reviews
Northampton Town are entering this Sky Bet League One (2025/2026, Matchday 11) clash at Sixfields Stadium, Northampton, on October 11, 2025, in solid form, sitting 13th with 14 points from 10 matches (4 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses). Their recent form shows three wins, one draw, and one loss in their last five league matches, including a 0-0 draw at Port Vale on October 4, 2025, and a 3-0 EFL Trophy win over Chelsea U21s. They’ve scored 7 goals and conceded 8, averaging 0.7 goals scored and 0.8 conceded per game. At home, Northampton are unbeaten in three league games (three wins), with goalkeeper Lee Burge keeping one clean sheet. Coach Kevin Nolan’s 4-1-4-1 relies on Sam Hoskins’ finishing (two goals) and Mitch Pinnock’s assists (two). No major injuries are reported, though Tom Eaves is doubtful (minor knock). Northampton will leverage their home crowd to extend their unbeaten streak, aiming to break into the top half against a struggling Rotherham.
Rotherham United are in poor form, sitting 22nd with 8 points from 10 matches (2 wins, 2 draws, 6 losses). Their recent form includes one win, one draw, and three losses in their last five league matches, with a 1-1 draw against Bradford City on October 2, 2025, and a 2-0 EFL Trophy win over Newcastle U21s. They’ve scored 9 goals and conceded 15, averaging 0.9 goals scored and 1.5 conceded per game. Away form is dire, with no wins in five league road games (two draws, three losses). Coach Matt Hamshaw’s 4-3-1-2 depends on Sam Nombe’s finishing (two goals) and Joe Powell’s creativity (two assists). Zak Jules is back from suspension, but Benson is out (hamstring). Rotherham will aim to stay compact and counter, hoping to end their winless away run and climb out of the relegation zone.
Head to Head
Rotherham lead the historical record, with 5 wins to Northampton’s 1 and 4 draws in their last 10 meetings. Their most recent clash was a 2-0 Rotherham win on April 1, 2025, at Sixfields, with Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu and Nombe scoring. At Sixfields, Rotherham have won three of their last five, with one draw. Matches average 2.2 goals, with both teams scoring in 30% of encounters, suggesting a low-scoring but competitive game. Rotherham’s recent dominance contrasts with Northampton’s home form, setting up a tight battle.
Prediction
Northampton’s three-game home winning streak and Rotherham’s winless away run (no goals in three of five away games) make the Cobblers slight favorites. However, Rotherham’s historical edge and recent draw against Bradford show resilience. I predict a 1-0 Northampton win, with Hoskins or Roberts scoring, and Rotherham struggling to break Northampton’s defense. Northampton’s win probability is around 45%, reflecting their 0-0 Port Vale draw and Rotherham’s 1-1 Bradford result. Expect Northampton to edge possession (around 52%) and corners (5-7), with Rotherham’s counters limited by their low scoring rate (0.9 goals per game). The game should be close, with Northampton’s home form securing three points to climb the table, while Rotherham’s relegation battle intensifies.
