Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Stevenage and Northampton go head to head at Lamex Stadium on day 24 of the new League One campaign. The Boro have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Burton, sharing the spoils with Exeter, while losing to Barnsley. Stevenage are eager to stay in the playoffs berth and they are surely capable of beating the Cobblers in front of home fans. Steve Evans has no fresh injury worries ahead of the Boxing Day game.
Northampton, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Oxford United. The Cobblers aim to keep their playoffs hopes alive, but given their difficulties on the travels, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. You should bear in mind that Job Brady’s troops have already suffered six defeats on the road this term.
Highlighted Team (Stevenage):
Based in Hertfordshire, England, Stevenage Borough are a professional club that compete in the League Two. The Boro are well known for their red and white home hit, while dark blue is the dominant colour of their away kit. Stevenage play their home games at Broadhall Way, the stadium which can hold up to 6,722 spectators and they were founded in 1976.
The Boro have won FA Trophy on two occasions (2006/07, 2008/09), with the team clinching the Herts Senior Cup title in the 2008/09 season thanks to a 2-1 win over Cheshunt. Luton are considered one of the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks in matches between the two sides.
In 2015 fighting broke out between rival fans near to the end of the clash at the Lamex. It has to be noted that Stevenage Borough were founded in 1976 after the bankruptcy of Stevenage Athletic.
