Prediction: 0-1
Exeter
Out-of-form Northampton will be aiming to give fans some cheer as they welcome Exeter City to their Sixfields Stadium on Saturday. The Cobblers have collected only one point in total from possible twelve in the new League One campaign and, no doubt, they are desperate to record their first win of the process. All Jacobs, Guthrie, and Shaw remain in the treatment room, while duo Swyer – Thorniley will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The Grecians, meanwhile, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Wycombe. Given Northampton’s offensive struggles and lack of confidence, we predict that the visitors are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. Sil Swinkels limped off with injury in the midweek clash, with Ryan Rydel being ready to replace him in the starting line-up. There are no other fresh injury worries in the away team.
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.
