Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Mansfield and Northampton go head to head at One Call Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting League Two game. The Yellows have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both Rochdale and Oldham, while sharing the spoils with Hartlepool. Jamie Murphy, who limped off with injury at the weekend, is unlikely to feature in Saturday’s game, with Jason Law pushing for a start.
The Cobblers, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating both Stevenage and Hartlepool, while losing to the likes of Carlisle and Bristol Rovers. Northampton are eager to stay in automatic promotion berth, and seeing that they will go for a win as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Talented forward Chanka Zimba is pushing for a rare start after finding the net in the last league match.
Highlighted Player (Jordan Bowery):
Born in Nottingham, England, on July 2, 1991, Jordan Bowery is a professional footballer who plays for Mansfield Town. Bowery played for a number of English clubs, but we should mentioned the notable ones only.
The Mansfield No. 9 was a part of the likes of Aston Villa, Bradford City, Rotherham United, and Crewe Alexandra in the past. Jordan Bowery joined the Yellows in the summer of 2020, signing for the club on a free transfer. He made his Mansfield Town debut in the League two in a goalless draw with Tranmere Rovers on September 12, 2020.
Bowery scored his first goal for the Yellows in a 2-2 draw with Leyton Orient on September 19, 2020. Centre-forward is the position that suits him the most, but he is used as both left and right winger as well. His preferred foot is right. Jordan Bowery has never played for the England national 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.
