Prediction: 2-1
Northampton
Following a goalless draw with Wycombe Wanderers, Oxford United will look to return to winning ways in the League One when they take on Northampton Town on Matchday 29. The Yellows defeated Wigan Athletic 4-2 in their last home game, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Tuesday’s postponed fixture. Both Kyle Edwards and Marcus Browne remain on the sidelines with injuries, while Elliott Moore remains doubtful.
The Cobblers, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 4-3 loss to Leyton Orient, with the team beating Bristol Rovers 3-1 at home in their last league match. Northampton, though, have already suffered nine defeats on the road this term and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Oxford United’s party at Kassam Stadium. The likes of Akin Odimayo, Ali Koiki, Sam Hoskins, Danny Hylton, and Tyler Magloire are injured for the visiting side.
Highlighted Team (Oxford United):
Oxford United are one of the oldest clubs in the League One as they were founded back in 1893. However, Oxford United adopted their current name 67 years later and have been playing under it ever since.
Over the years the Yellows have built a great rivalry with Swindon Town and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two sides. Oxford United play home matches at Kassam Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 12,500. The stadium was built in 1997 and has been Oxford United’s home ground ever since. The Boys from Up the Hill are well known for their yellow and blue colours, but they play their away games in dark blue (with a little yellow) or black kits.
Oxford’s player with the most league appearances is John Shuker, playing 478 games for the club from 1962 to 1977. On the other hand, Jim Magilton is the club’s most capped player in internationals, playing 18 games for Northern Ireland.
