Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Carlisle play host to Northampton at their Brunton Park in the League One round 22. The Cumbrians aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Reading and Blackpool and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Cobblers. As Carlisle experienced all sorts of problems at the back in their last league match, Paul Simpson should make changes to the starting XI, with both Gibson and Armer pushing for a start.
Northampton, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 3-0 loss to Portsmouth, with the team rolling over Fleetwood Town at the weekend. As the playoffs-chasing Saddlers have been in a fine form of late, winning four of their last five league matches, away triumph should be considered. A man to watch in the away team will be forward Mitchell Pinnock, who scored a brace in the triumph over the Cod Army.
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.
