Northampton – Peterborough Preview: Latest Form, News, and Potential Lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Northampton vs Peterborough lineups.
Northampton
Northampton salvaged a lucky 2-2 home draw vs Lincoln on Tuesday night. Looked doomed in this match as they trailed 0-2 with just 10 minutes left to play but somehow found a way to secure a lucky point.
Northampton are hit by a major injury storm right now and on top of the congested schedule, they have 9 sidelined players right now. The situation is so bad that Northampton couldn’t even fill the quota for the bench in the last 2 rounds.
Among the 9 absentees are 4 defenders that would have been starting if fit + including the team’s main goalie Lee Burge. This explains why Northampton have been leaking goals so easily in the last few games.
Predicted Lineup:
Thompson (GK), Odimayo, Sherring, Monthe, Brought, Sowerby, Leonard, Pinnock, Bowie, Hoskins & Simpson
Peterborough
Posh are one of only three teams yet to drop points in League One – 3 wins in 3. On Tuesday they dominated their away game vs Barnsley and came from behind to win 3-1. Clarke-Harris scored his first goal of the season in this match. Also, Kyprianou scored in a second consecutive league game.
Posh have a small squad and can’t rotate much. They are practically at full strength though with only the backup keeper Blackmore and the very rarely-used midfielder Fuchs nursing knocks right now.
Predicted Lineup:
Bilokapic (GK), Kioso, Edwards, Chirchlow, Burrows, Kyprianou, Collins, Poku, Mason-Clark & Clarke-Harris
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: Johson Clarke-Harris
Peterborough’s star striker Clarke-Harris won the Golden Boot last term with his 27 league goals. He produced 2 assists in the first 2 rounds of the new campaign and then on Tuesday netted his first goal of the campaign. Clarke-Harris is certain to be a key contributor to attack again. He will be hungry to add more goals to his tally against what is a badly crippled Northampton team.
