Prediction: 1-1
Northampton
Saturday’s football game at The Croud Meadow pits together Shrewsbury Town and Northampton Town, the two bottom-table sides. The Shrews do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last five league matches, but this clash could be the turning point for the hosts. Defender Joe Anderson is banned for the match, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Jon Brady’s troops, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team heading into the match following back-to-back wins over Exeter and Reading. The two sides seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, we are tempted to put our money on draw. It has to be noted that under 2.5 goals have been netted in four of the previous five meetings between the two sides.
Highlighted Team (Shrewsbury):
Based in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, Shrewsbury Town are a professional club that play home games at New Meadow stadium, the venue which was opened in 2007 and has the capacity of 10,361. Shrewsbury Town were founded back in 1886, with some reports indicating the club was established at the Lion Hotel.
The Blues wear blue shirts with yellow stripe and blue shorts when playing at home, whilst the colour of their away kit is purple. Mickey Brown holds the club record for most appearances as he played 190 games for the club, scoring 9 goals in the league. Both Wolverhampton and Walsall are regarded as the club’s fiercest rivals, but there have always been fireworks in matches between Shrewsbury Town and Hereford United as well.
The two teams face each other in the “A49 derby” and it has to be noted that the Blues have built rivalries with Chester City and Wrexham as well.
