Northampton - Crawley

Northampton Town look to rediscover their attacking spark as they host Crawley Town on 1 September 2026 for this League Two matchday 4 fixture. The hosts have endured a difficult start to the campaign, struggling to find the back of the net in recent outings, including a goalless draw against Swindon Town and a narrow defeat to Crewe Alexandra. Having failed to score in their last three competitive matches, Northampton Town will be desperate to provide their supporters at Sixfields Stadium with a much-needed breakthrough to ignite their season.

Crawley Town arrive seeking consistency after a mixed run of results in the league. While they managed a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Rochdale, they were unable to build on that momentum, falling 2-0 to Bristol Rovers in their most recent outing. With both sides eager to climb the table, this encounter hinges on which team can regain composure in the final third. Their history suggests a competitive affair, marked by the 3-2 thriller in August 2022.
