Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Harrogate Town and Grimsby Town square off against each other at EnviroVent Stadium in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The Sulphurites aim to make amends for a heavy 3-0 loss to Notts County, with the team eyeing their third consecutive win in front of home fans. Tuesday’s clash comes too early for Toby Sims, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Mariners, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Newport County. Grimsby Town are five points clear of the relegation zone, but given their difficulties on the road, we predict that Harrogate are going to pick up all three points from the midweek clash. The good news for the visiting side is that Denver Hume is back from suspension. Hume should replace Charles Vernam in the starting XI.
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.
