Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Harrogate
Bristol Rovers will be aiming to build on a 2-1 win over Crawley Town when they take on Harrogate on Matchday 36. The Pirates are just three points behind automatic promotion places, meaning that Saturday’s clash is of big importance for the home side. Wales international Aaron Collins, who scored his 9th goal of the season in the midweek triumph, will be the man to watch in the home team.
Harrogate, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Hartlepool. The Sulphurites are stuck in the middle of the table, and seeing that they have little to play for in the season finale, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Bristol Rovers. The Pirates defenders should have Luke Armstrong at bay as he scored his 11th goal of the season at the weekend.
Highlighted Player (Glenn Whelan):
Probably one of the most underrated footballers in Premier League history, Glenn Whelan was born on 13 January 1982 in Dublin and he went on to enjoy a very successful career on club and international level.
Following spells with Manchester City, Bury and Sheffield Wednesday, the defensive midfielder found his peace at the Britannia Stadium, making over 250 Premier League appearances for Stoke City and keeping his place in the side under both Tony Pulis and Mark Hughes. Predominantly focused on doing the dirty defensive work and helping out the back four, Whelan never quite made the headlines for his style of play or quality of his displays, but remained an important player for both club and country.
The midfielder has so far made over 70 appearances for the Republic of Ireland national team, wearing the captain’s armband on several occasions, and starting all three group games at the Euro 2012 finals, while helping The Green Army qualify for the Euro 2016 as well.
Highlighted Team (Harrogate):
Harrogate Town is an English club that welcomes their rivals at Wetherby Road. Opened on August 28, 1920, the venue can hold up to 5,000 spectators (500 seated). The club was founded back in 1914, with the Sulphurties facing Horsforth in their first competitive match on August 30, 1919.
Harrogate Town footballers wear yellow and black shirts when playing at home, while pink is the dominant colour of their away jersey. The Sulphurties did well to win the Whitworth Cup in the 1919/20 season, while the club’s biggest success in the FA Cup came in the 2012/13 when they made it to the second round.
Simon Weaver is one of the most notable footballers who played for Harrogate Town in the past. The team’s manager for the 2020/21 season played for several English clubs, and he has been very successful in the coaching job as well.
