Prediction: 2-2
Harrogate
Saturday’s football game at the Wham Stadium pits together Accrington and Harrogate, the two teams who were beaten by Doncaster and Bromley respectively on Matchday 1. The Accy Stanley aim to recovered from the heavy defeat and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Sulphurites. Republic of Ireland forward Dara Costelloe limped off with injury in the EFL Cup defeat, with Tyler Walton likely to step up.
Harrogate, on the other hand, aim to build on the EFL Cup triumph over Lincoln. The good news for the visitors is that goalkeeper James Belshaw has overcome his injury. As the Sulphurites are eager to record their first win of the new League Two season as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. You should know that both teams managed to find the net in each of their last three meetings in all competitions.

Founded back in 1891 and reformed in 1968, Accrington Stanley are an English football club that compete in the League One. The original team competed in the Football League from 1921 to 1962, spending the last four seasons in Lancashire Combination.
