Prediction: 1-2
Northampton
All eyes will be on Peninsula Stadium when Salford City and Northampton Town go head to head in the League Two round 26. The Lions have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team sharing the spoils with Barrow, beating Grimsby, while losing to Bradford City. Salford City aim to move closer to the playoffs berth, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash.
A man to watch in the home team will be experienced forward Conor McAleny, who scored a brace against the Bantams, while Neil Wood has no fresh injury worries. The Cobblers, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Leyton Orient, but seeing that they are hit by injuries, the share of spoils is on the cards. Both Tyler Magloire and Shaun McWilliams are sidelined with injuries, while midfielder Jack Sowerby misses out through illness.
Highlighted Player (Conor McAleny):
Conor McAleny is a product of Everton youth academy, joining the club from Merseyside in 2003 at the age of 11. Despite the fact that his main position is centre-forward, McAleny is used as both second striker and left winger as well. McAleny did spend his youth career at Goodison Park, but it has to be noted that he made no more than two appearances for the Toffees at senior level.
The English attacker, who was born in Whiston on August 12, 1992, made his first-team debut in a 1-0 Premier League loss to Arsenal on December, 2011. Conor McAleny played for the likes of Scunthorpe United, Brentford, Cardiff City, Charlton Athletic, Wigan Athletic and Oxford United before signing a deal with Fleetwood Town.
The right-footed striker spent the second half of the 2018/2019 season on loan at Kilmarnock, scoring 3 goals in 11 appearances for the club in the Scottish Premier League.
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.
