Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Saturday’s football game at Sixfields Stadium pits together Northampton Town and Charlton Athletic. The Cobblers aim to recover from a 3-0 loss to Rotherham United and it has to be noted that they are after their fifth home win of the process. The fact that Northampton defeated Peterborough 2-1 in their last home game is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Charlton. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The capital club, on the other hand, failed to win the previous three league matches. As both Charlton and Northampton are eager to return to winning ways in League One, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Morocco international Gassan Ahadme is widely expected to return to Charlton’s starting XI after coming as a substitute in a goalless draw with Mansfield Town at the weekend.
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.
