Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Following a goalless draw with Blackpool, Northampton Town will be aiming to return to winning ways in League One when they face Cambridge United on Matchday 17. The Cobblers are stuck in the middle of the table, but a win over Cambridge United could help them revive their playoffs hopes. Both Jack Baldwin and Tyler Magloire have been struggling with injuries of late, speaking of the home team.
The Yellows, on the other hand, are sitting in the relegation zone with only 11 points on their account. As Cambridge United have already suffered six defeats on the road this term, we are tempted to place our bets on Northampton this time out. Garry Monk has no fresh injury worries ahead of the trip to West Northamptonshire. Dan N’Lundulu is widely expected to lead the line for the visiting side after putting an end to his goal-scoring drought in a 1-1 draw with Barnsley.
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.
