Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Tranmere will be looking to secure a top-ten finish when they take on Northampton Town on the last day of the season. The Super Whites have been showing signs of improvement of late, but they face a difficult task against the Cobblers, who are eyeing automatic League One promotion. Harvey Saunders limped off with injury in a 1-1 draw with AFC Wimbledon, with teenage forward Sam Taylor likely to step up.
Northampton, on the other hand, face a must-win situation in the last league match as fourth-place Stockport County are breathing down their neck. The visitors want this win more than the hosts and seeing that Tranmere have nothing to play for in Monday’s showdown, away win should be considered. A man to watch in the away side will be Samuel Hoskins, who has netted 21 goals so far this term.
Highlighted Player (Jordan Turnbull):
Born in Trowbridge, England, on October 30, 1994, Jordan Turnbull is a professional footballer who plays for Northampton Town as a defender. Turnbull is a product of Swindon Town football academy, but in 2007 he was spotted by Southampton scouts.
Despite signing a professional contract with Southampton, he did not see any game action with the Saints at senior level. The English footballer made no fewer than 86 league appearances for Swindon Town during his loan spell with the Robins, and in 2016 he signed a contract with Coventry City.
Jordan Turnbull spent the 2017/2018 on loan Partick Thistle before joining Northampton Town permanently. Speaking of his international career, the Northampton centre-back has two caps with the England U19 team, and one cap with the England U20. Jordan Turnbull, who is used as a left-back as well, wears the number 6 jersey at Northampton Town. His preferred foot is left.
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.
