Reading
Following a thrilling 4-0 win over Peterborough, Northampton Town will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Reading in the League One round 42. The Cobblers did well to put an end to their four-game winless run and a victory against Reading would edge them nearer to securing the survival. The likes of Brough, Guthrie, Morton, and Sowerby are out of contention with injuries for the home team.
The Royals, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Wycombe and Shrewsbury. Reading are determined to book their place in the playoffs and with Northampton being safe for now, there is a big value in betting on the away team. Bearing any fresh injury worries, Reading manager Noel Hunt is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Shrews on Tuesday evening.
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.
