Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Fleetwood will be aiming to put an end to their three-game losing run in the League One when they take on Northampton on Saturday afternoon. The Cod Army suffered a dip in form, with the team extending their losing run to three games at Blackpool and, as things stand now, they will find it hard to secure the League One survival. Ryan Graydon is likely to return to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Cobblers, meanwhile, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both Port Vale and Carlisle, but that is unlikely to help them book their spot in the League One playoffs. Northampton are on a four-game winless run on the road and seeing that this has to go down as a must-win game for the relegation-threatened hosts, we are tempted to put our money on Charlie Adam’s charges.
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.
