Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Tranmere play host to Harrogate at their Prenton Park in what is expected to be an interesting League Two game. The Super Whites failed to win the previous four league fixtures, and, as a result, they are unlikely to book their place in the playoffs. Ireland defender Lee O’Connor is pushing for a spot in the starting XI, as well as talented forward Jake Burton, who came as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Colchester.
The Sulphurites, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 3-1 loss to Crawley Town, with the team beating Barrow thanks to Matty Daly’s goal. The 22-year-old midfielder is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team. Harrogate are still sitting in the danger zone, and seeing that they want this win more than the out-of-sorts hosts, we are going to put our money on the visiting side.
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 (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.
