Exeter City vs Northampton Town: match statistics
Exeter City displays significantly better home form with a 54% win rate and an impressive +8 goal difference at their own stadium. The hosts average 1.54 goals scored per home game while conceding just 0.92, which, combined with a 46% clean sheet rate, points to a solid defense. Northampton Town has serious problems in away matches, losing a full 60% of their games, scoring on average only 0.8 goals while conceding 1.6 (goal difference -12). The visitors are further burdened by a 47% rate of away games without scoring and a poor shots on target average (2.73). The recent form of both teams (Exeter: wwdld, Northampton: lldww) indicates a slight advantage for the hosts, who have shown greater stability in their last five home matches.
