Prediction: 2-1
Wigan
Northampton Town will be aiming to extend their winning run to three games when they face Wigan Athletic in the League One round 28. The Cobblers recorded three wins in the previous four league matches and they are seen as slim favourites to beat the Latics on home soil. Barring any fresh injury worries, Jon Brady is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Cheltenham Town.
Wigan Athletic, on the other hand, aim to make amends for the FA Cup loss to Manchester United. The Latics failed to win the previous five away games in the League One, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on the playoffs-chasing hosts. As for the visiting team, experienced forward Josh Magennis is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the FA Cup loss.
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.
