Prediction: 1-0
Shrewsbury
Buoyed by a 3-2 win over Charlton Athletic, Northampton Town will be aiming to keep their playoffs hopes alive when they take on Shrewsbury on Saturday afternoon. The Cobblers have been producing fine displays in January and as a result, the bookies see them as favourites to win this match. Despite scoring a late winner against the Red Robins, Scotland forward Louis Appere should once again start from the bench.
The Shrews, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back losses to Stevenage and Peterborough and given Northampton’s fine form in the League One, home win should definitely be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Northamptonshire. Earlier this season the Shrews defeated the Cobblers 1-0 thanks to Daniel Udoh’s goal, meaning that the hosts are eager to get their revenge on the visiting side.
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.
