Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Following a 3-0 loss to Portsmouth, Northampton will be aiming to get back on course in the League One when they host Fleetwood to their Sixfields Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Cobblers are ten points behind the playoffs berth, meaning that they are eager to start a new winning run as soon as possible. Both Appere and Guthrie are pushing for a start after the duo came as a substitute in the last league match.
The Cod Army, on the other hand, are eager to escape the relegation zone, but given their poor displays in back-to-back losses to Stevenage (0-3) and Wigan (0-3), we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. To make things even worse for the visiting side, Josh Earl serves a one-game ban. In their last meeting at the venue Northampton defeated Fleetwood thanks to Cian Bolger’s goal.
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.
