Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Northampton will be aiming to put an end to their three-game losing run in League One when they face Leyton Orient on Matchday 12. The hosts defeated Notts County in the EFL Trophy 2-0 and they are now on a quest to return to winning ways in the league. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Saturday’s clash. The O’s, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their four-game winless run in the English third tier.
As the visitors will go for a win in this match as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Speaking of the away side, Jamaica midfielder Darren Pratley is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the EFL Trophy win over Colchester. In their last meeting in the League One Leyton defeated Northampton 4-3 and yet another high-scoring affair is on the cards.
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.
