Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Swindon play host to Harrogate at their County Ground in the League Two round 19. The Robins have been in a splendid form in November, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive league win. Jack Payne, who has been producing excellent displays in recent weeks, is likely to prove a handful for the opposition defenders. Talented attacker Tyreece Simpson will be yet another man to watch in the home team.
Harrogate, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Carlisle United. The Sulphurites have been having their ups and downs of late, but given Swindon’s current form, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. Both Power and Kerry are pushing for a start, speaking of the visiting side. This will be the first ever meeting between the two teams in the English fourth tier.
