Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Northampton and Peterborough square off against each other at Sixfields Stadium in the closing match of the League One round 19. The Cobblers do not seem to be at their sharpest, failing to win the last six league matches and they face yet another uphill task against Peterborough. Forward Tom Eaves is banned for the hosts, while both Fox and Guinness-Walker are major doubts after limping off with injuries in a 2-0 loss to Stevenage.
The Posh, on the other hand, are eager to recover from a 1-0 loss to Burton Albion. Even though Peterborough have been struggling on the travels of late, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. As Kwame Poku suffered an injury in the midweek defeat, Malik Mothersille is widely expected to return to Peterborough’s starting line-up. Last time out Northampton defeated Peterborough 1-0 at Sixfields Stadium.
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.
