Prediction: 1-1
Exeter
Northampton Town and Exeter City take on each other at Sixfields Stadium in what is expected to be a close League One encounter. The Cobblers aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Fleetwood Town and you should know that they are eyeing their fourth consecutive win at home ground. Northampton, though, has a little to play for in the last two games of the season, meaning that head coach Jon Brady should shuffle his pack.
Meanwhile, the Grecians aim to build on a thrilling 4-2 win over Port Vale. Exeter City have won three of their last four league matches, but beating Northampton on the road is easier said than done. As previously mentioned, a close contest is on the horizon and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Scotland defender Zak Jules is widely expected to return to Exeter’s starting eleven after scoring as a substitute in the triumph over the Valiants.
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.
