Bookmakers slightly favor Wycombe Wanderers to win, with early market odds around 2.45 for Wycombe, 2.80 for Northampton Town, and 3.20 for the draw as of the latest pricing checks this month, reflecting Wycombe’s more consistent League One form and deeper squad options, especially in attack. Northampton’s recent 2–0 cup win over Wycombe at Sixfields on 2 December 2025 keeps this close to a near pick’em, but market momentum is still marginally on the visitors’ side with DexWin - Best Odds on Your Favourite Sports.

The Northampton Town vs Wycombe Wanderers League One match on 17 January 2026 is scheduled to start at 3:00 PM local time in Northampton, which is 3:00 PM GMT. This aligns with the traditional Saturday 3 PM kick-off slot used for most League One fixtures in England during the winter schedule.

The game will be played at Sixfields Stadium in Northampton, England, Northampton Town’s home ground with a capacity of just over 7,700 spectators in an all-seater configuration. The compact layout and proximity of stands to the pitch typically create a strong home atmosphere, which historically has given Northampton a noticeable performance boost in tight League One fixtures.

Based on current form and squad strength, the prediction leans slightly towards a narrow Wycombe Wanderers win, for example a 1–2 away victory, with value on Wycombe at around 2.45 and Northampton a live underdog near 2.80. The market’s tight pricing and relatively low goal line around 2.5 goals suggest a cautious, closely contested match where set pieces and late-game substitutions could decide the result.

In recent meetings, Northampton Town and Wycombe Wanderers have produced generally low-scoring, competitive encounters, with neither side dominating outright over the last few seasons. The most recent clash on 2 December 2025 saw Northampton win 2–0 at Sixfields in a cup tie, but in League One play across their last several head-to-heads, Wycombe hold a slight edge on total wins, while Northampton tend to perform better at home.
