Prediction: 1-1
Northampton
Bradford City and Northampton Town go head to head at Valley Parade in the League Two round 17. The Bantams are undefeated in the previous three league fixtures, and they are surely capable of matching the Cobblers in front of home fans. Midfielder Lee Angol, who found the net in a 1-1 draw with Port Vale, is pushing for a start. You should bear in mind that Bradford City are after their fourth home win of the process.
Northampton Town, on the other hand, aim to climb to automatic promotion places in the League Two standings. The Cobblers suffered a 2-1 loss to Bristol Rovers in their last league match, and seeing that they could be low on confidence on Saturday afternoon, we are tempted to put our money on draw. All Connolly, Kabamba, and Harriman are pushing for a start, speaking of the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Anthony O\\\'Connor):
Born in Cork, the Republic of Ireland on October 25, 1992, Anthony O’Connor is a professional footballer who plays for Bradford City as a defender. His primary position is a centre-back, but he is used as both right-back and defensive midfielder as well.
The Irish footballer is a product of the Blackburn Rovers football academy, but he did not see any game action with the Riversiders at senior level. After ending his loan spells with the likes of Burton Albion, Torquay United, and Plymouth Argyle, Anthony O’Connor signed a permanent deal with the Pilgrims in 2015. At the end of the 2014/2015 season, O’Connor returned to Burton, signing a two-year contract with the Brewers.
In the summer of 2016, he moved to Scotland Premier League club Aberdeen where he scored five goals in 61 league appearances. In June 2018 he joined League Two side Bradford City. It has to be noted that Anthony O’Connor has eight caps with the Republic of Ireland U21 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.
