Prediction: 2-1
Northampton
Oxford United will be aiming to build on a 3-1 win over Carlisle United when they take on Northampton Town in the League One round 29. The Yellows are eyeing their third consecutive league win and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Wales Mark Harris, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
The Cobblers, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team beating both Lincoln and Cheltenham, while sharing the spoils with Wigan Athletic. Northampton Town, though, were hammered by Oxford United (0-4) in the previous meeting between the two sides at Kassam Stadium and, taking everything into account, home win should be considered. Max Thompson is back to Newcastle United following his loan spell in the League One, with fellow goalkeeper Lee Burge likely to keep his place between the sticks.
Highlighted Team (Oxford United):
Oxford United are one of the oldest clubs in the League One as they were founded back in 1893. However, Oxford United adopted their current name 67 years later and have been playing under it ever since.
Over the years the Yellows have built a great rivalry with Swindon Town and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two sides. Oxford United play home matches at Kassam Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 12,500. The stadium was built in 1997 and has been Oxford United’s home ground ever since. The Boys from Up the Hill are well known for their yellow and blue colours, but they play their away games in dark blue (with a little yellow) or black kits.
Oxford’s player with the most league appearances is John Shuker, playing 478 games for the club from 1962 to 1977. On the other hand, Jim Magilton is the club’s most capped player in internationals, playing 18 games for Northern Ireland.
