Prediction: 2-1
Cheltenham
Northampton Town will look to build on a 2-1 win over Lincoln when they take on Cheltenham in the first game of the year. The Cobblers are eager to keep their playoffs hopes alive and they are seen as favourites to beat Cheltenham in front of home fans. As there are no fresh injury worries in Job Brady’s team, home win should definitely be considered.
The Robins, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both Carlisle and Shrewsbury, while sharing the spoils with Reading. Cheltenham are determined to escape the relegation zone, but seeing that they have already suffered seven defeats on the road this term, we are going to bet on Northampton this time out. Talented forward Robert Street is unlikely to feature against the Cobblers after suffering an injury in the last league fixture.
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.
