Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-2
Stevenage
After failing to win the previous four league matches, Northampton Town will look to give fans some cheer when they face Stevenage in the opening game of 2025. The Cobblers have been struggling at the back of late and it is no wonder the bookies see them as underdogs in Wednesday’s clash. Liam McCarron limped off with injury in the last league match, with Jack Baldwin likely to step up.
The Boro, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 3-0 win over Bristol Rovers. Stevenage have been in a much better form of late than Northampton; therefore, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. Dan Butler limped off with injury in the triumph over Pirates, with fellow defender Lewis Freestone being ready to step up. In their last encounter in the English third tier, Stevenage defeated Northampton 2-0.
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.
