Our prediction for this League 1 match:
After sharing the spoils with Stockport County at Sixfields Stadium, Northampton Town will look to return to winning ways in the League One when they face Crawley Town on Matchday 14. The Cobblers defeated Leyton Orient 1-0 in their last home game, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Saturday’s encounter. A man to watch in the home team will be Cameron McGeehan, who has been scoring goals for fun in the new League One campaign.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, are on a five-game losing run on the road in all competitions and we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. In their last meeting at Sixfields Stadium Northampton defeated Crawley 1-0, with Jack Sowerby scoring the only goal of the match. Junior Quitirna is a major doubt, Harry Forster is ready to sneak into Crawley’s starting XI.
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.
