Our prediction for this League 1 match:
After failing to win the previous three league matches, Northampton Town will look to return to winning ways when they take on Blackpool in the League One round 38. The Cobblers have slim playoffs chances, but the hope dies last and we are positive that Jon Brady’s troops are going to leave their hearts on the field. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of the midweek clash.
The Seasiders, on the other hand, are only four points behind the playoffs berth. As the visitors will go for a victory as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. In the first half of the season Northampton defeated Blackpool 2-1 at Bloomfield Road, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. James Husband limped off with injury in the last league match, with Oliver Casey likely to step up. Experienced forward Jordan Rhodes remains in the recovery room as well.
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.
