Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Northampton
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Salford
Northampton Town and Salford City square off against each other at Sixfields Stadium in the League Two round 29. The Cobblers are still in the race for automatic promotion, but they are on a four-game winless run ahead of the visit of Salford. Northampton are eyeing their eighth home win of the process, and we predict that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s match.
Danny Rose could sneak into the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the goalless draw with Sutton. The Lions, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Barrow, but beating Northampton on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards at Sixfields Stadium, and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw.
Highlighted Player (Joseph Mills):
Joseph Mills is an Aston Villa product who plays for Northampton Town in the League One. Mills moved to Southampton in 2006, and he continued playing for the Saints at senior level. After ending his loan spells with Scunthorpe United and Doncaster Rovers, the pacey left-back joined Reading in 2011, but he made no more than 15 appearances for the Royals in the league.
After his short spell with Burnley, Joseph Mills moved to Oldham Athletic, and it has to be noted that he played for the likes of Perth Glory, Shrewsbury Town, and Forest Green Rovers as well before moving to Northampton Town.
Mills was born in Swindon, England on October 30, 1989, and he wears the No. 23 shirt with the Cobblers. His primary position is left-back, but coaches use him as a left midfielder as well. He has a contract with Northampton Town which should expire in June 2022.
Highlighted Team (Salford):
Founded during the Second World War (1940) as Salford Central, the League Two side play their home games at Moor Lane. The stadium, which was opened in 1978 and renovated in 2019, can hold up to 5,108 spectators. The Lions wear red jerseys and white shorts when playing in front of home fans, while white and black are the dominant colours of their away kit.
Salford City secured promotion to the League 2 at the end of the 2018/19 as they defeated Flyde 3-0 in the National League play-offs final. The match was played at Wembley Stadium, with Touray, Pergianni, and Dieseruvwe scoring for the Lions.
In the 1977/78 season Salford City won their first Manchester Premier Cup trophy, with the team repeating the success the following year. Bury are seen as the club’s main rivals, but their rivalry with the likes of Oldham and Rochdale is pretty big as well.
