Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Crawley Town play host to Northampton Town at the People’s Pension Stadium in the League Two round 4. The Red Devils made a slow start to the season, and they have yet to find the net in the process. Ellery Balcombe misses the midweek game through injury, while Ludwig Francillette is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a goalless draw with Harrogate at the weekend.
The Cobblers, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Hartlepool. Northampton have been in a much better form of late than Crawley, which is probably the main reason why away win should be considered. All Aaron McGowan, Akinwale Odimayo, and Kieron Bowie are rated doubtful for Tuesday’s clash, speaking of the visiting team. In their last meeting at the venue the two teams played out a goalless draw.
Highlighted Player (Kwesi Appiah ):
Born in Thamesmead, England on August 12, 1990, Kwesi Appiah is a professional footballer who plays for AFC Wimbledon in the League One. Due to his dual citizenship, Appiah is eligible to play for Ghana and he made his debut with the Black Stars in a 2-1 win over South Africa on January 27, 2015.
The pacey forward scored his first goal for the national team in a 3-0 win over Guinea on February 1, 2015. Appiah started his club career at Ebbsfleet United, but the list of clubs he played for is pretty long.
Appiah wore Peterborough United, Weymouth, King’s Lynn, Kettering Town, Brackley Town, Thurrock, Margate, Crystal Palace, Aldershot Town, Yeovil Town, Cambridge United, Notts County, Reading and Viking shirts before signing a permanent deal with AFC Wimbledon in 2017. His main position is centre-forward, but he is capable of producing fine performances as both second striker and left winger as well.
Highlighted Team (Northampton):
Northampton are a professional football club that compete in the League Two, the English fourth tier. The Cobblers play their home matches at Sixfields Stadium, the venue that has a capacity of 7,798. Northampton Town are well known for their claret and white home kit, while black is the dominant colour of their away jersey.
Northampton did well to make it to the Charity Shield final in 1909, with the team suffering a 2-0 loss to Newcastle United in the title game. The Cobblers are holding the record for the shortest time taken to secure promotion from the bottom tier to the top flight and relegated back down to the bottom again. Northampton Town managed to do so in only nine years.
Peterborough united are regarded as the club’s main rivals, with other significant rivalries including the likes of Oxford United, Milton Keynes Dons, Cambridge United, Coventry City, and Rushden & Diamonds.
