Prediction: 2-0
Harrogate
Swindon Town will look to build on a 3-1 win over Tranmere Rovers when they face Harrogate Town on Saturday afternoon. The Robins desperately needed a win against Tranmere Rovers and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their five-match winless run. A man to watch in the home team will be Rushian Hepburn-Murphy, who scored a brace in the last league match.
The Sulphurites, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last four league matches. As Harrogate conceded 15 goals in total in those encounters, we predict that the hosts will emerge triumphant in Saturday’s game. As for the visiting side, experienced midfielder George Thomson should sneak into the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the last league fixture. The likes of Lewis Thomas, Rod McDonald, and Sam Folarin are Harrogate Town’s long-term absentees.
Highlighted Team (Swindon):
Founded by Reverend William Pitt of Liddington in 1879, Swindon Town are an English football club which compete in the League Two. The Robins welcome their rivals at County Ground, the stadium which can hold up to 15,728 spectators (all-seated), with the team wearing red shirts and white shorts when playing at home.
Gray is the dominant colour of the club which turned professional in 1894. Oxford United are considered the team’s main rivals, but the Robins have rivalries with Bristol City, Bristol Rovers, and Reading as well. In 1969 Swindon Town did remarkably well to win the English League Cup, with the team beating Arsenal 3-1 in the title game at Wembley Stadium.
John Trollope is the club’s player with most appearances as he played 889 first-team games from 1960 to 1980. Premier League attacker Charlie Austin is one of the most notable footballers who played for Swindon Town in the past.
