Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Harrogate will be aiming to build on back-to-back wins over Salford City and MK Dons when they take on AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday evening. The Sulphurites have been showing signs of improvement of late, but they face a difficult task in the midweek clash. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of AFC Wimbledon.
The Dons, on the other hand, are eyeing their third consecutive league win as well. As AFC Wimbledon have been impressive in front of goal of late, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. The opposition back-line should have Iraq forward Ali Al-Hamadi, who scored a hat-trick against the Superwhites. In their last encounter in the English fourth tier two teams played out a thrilling 2-2 draw.
Highlighted Player (Nikola Tzanev):
Nikola Tzanev is a New Zealand goalkeeper who started his youth career at Crystal Palace. Tzanev then moved to Brentford and he continued wearing the red and white shirt at senior level. After ending his loan spell with Lewes, the 195-cm-tall shoot-stopper moved to AFC Wimbledon in 2017.
During the 2018/2019 campaign he played for Potters Bar Town as a loan player, but at the end of the season he returned to AFC Wimbledon. He made his League One debut with the Dons on August 3, 2019 in a 2-1 loss to Rotherham United. Speaking of his international career, Nik Tzanev made his New Zealand debut in a 1-0 win over Chinese Taipei on June 5, 2018.
The Dons goalkeeper has 3 caps for the New Zealand U20 team as well. Nikola Tzanev was born in Wellington on December 23, 1996 and his preferred foot is right.
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.

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.
