Rochdale pack their bags to visit Northampton Town at Sixfields on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Dale will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 13 and win only 4 of the 25 games.
The previous match played between the two at Sixfields was more than three years back, in April 2006, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Northampton Town are not in the best of form at home, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats in their last six. A generous 8 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.
The away form of Rochdale is pretty dire, attaining just 3 draws from the previous six away games. While the Dale have hit 7 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Northampton find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 7 points from their 7 matches. Rochdale lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League Two, picking up 11 from their 7 games so far.
