History is against Cobblers
Recent history is definitely not on Northampton’s side coming into the first Nene Derby for over two years.
Peterborough have won all of the last four meetings and you have to go way back to 2006 for the last Cobblers victory. It’s even longer ago - 2002 - since Northampton beat Posh in a league game at Sixfields. Sam Parkin and Jamie Forrester were on target that day after an early opener from a young Jimmy Bullard.
The form of the two teams very much favours Peterborough too. They’ve won three from three this season, including an impressive 3-1 victory at Barnsley in midweek.
Cobblers have one point from their three games since winning promotion but they were excellent against Lincoln on Tuesday and should have a spring in their step after scoring a stoppage-time equaliser.
All the statistics point to a Posh win though - can Cobblers spring a surprise?!
