Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Wrexham will be aiming to recover from a 1-0 loss to Stevenage when they take on Northampton Town on Saturday afternoon. The Dragons want to keep their 100% record at home intact and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Cobblers. As George Evans limped off with injury in the midweek loss, Andy Cannon is widely expected to start against Northampton.
The visitors, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in back-to-back losses to Mansfield Town and Bolton and given their difficulties at the back, e believe that there is a big value in betting on Wrexham, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier Northampton defeated Wrexham 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. Luke Mbete should miss out with injury for the away team.
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.
