Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Salford City will look to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Tranmere when they welcome Harrogate to their Peninsula Stadium in the League Two round 32. The Lions look unstoppable on home soil, with the team winning each of their last four home fixtures, and it is no wonder the bookies see them as hot favourites to win Tuesday’s clash. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but important forward Matt Smith is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
The Sulphurites, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Stockport, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the hosts. As for the visiting team, both Muldoon and Sutton are pushing for spots in the starting XI as Simon Weaver should opt to make changes to the team that faced Stockport.
Highlighted Player (Jason Lowe):
Jason Lowe is a Blackburn Rovers midfielder, who was born on 2 September, 1991 in Wigan, Greater Manchester. Lowe plays as a defensive midfielder, but he is capable of playing as a central midfielder and a right back as well. The Blackburn footballer made his senior debut on 28 March 2011 during his loan spell with Oldham Athletic.
He scored his first ever goal against Notts County six days later. Lowe returned to Blackburn Rovers at the end of the 2010/2011 season and he made his first appearance for the Rovers on 24 August 2011 in a victory over Sheffield Wednesday (League Cup). Speaking of his international career, Lowe made England U-19 training camp and he was selected for his national team for the European Under-19 Football Championship finals in July 2010 (Ukraine).
However, he eventually withdrew from the squad through injury. On 10 October, 2011 Lowe made his England U-21 debut in a 2-1 victory over Norway U-21. The two teams faced each other in the Euro 2013 qualifiers.
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.
