Northampton – Swindon Town

Northampton held Swindon Town to a goalless stalemate at Sixfields, leaving both sides still searching for a winning formula. The home side remain 17th in the league with six points from six games, their record of one win, three draws and two defeats reflecting a fragile defence that has already leaked five goals. Swindon sit comfortably in ninth place, ten points from ten, having taken three victories but also conceding ten times in the process. The two clubs have already drawn their only encounter this season, and the dead‑lock continues the pattern of tightly contested meetings between them. Both teams will now look to turn the draw into three points as the race for promotion and survival intensifies.
