Our prediction for this League 2 match:
EnviroVent Stadium will be the centre of attention when Harrogate and Bradford City lock horns in the League Two round 8. The Sulphurites survived Liverpool U21 in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday evening where Simon Weaver rested several first-team regulars. The 46-year-old tactician, though, is going to field the best possible side against the Bantams, with both Josh March and Dean Cornelius returning to the starting line-up.
Bradford City, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with AFC Wimbledon. As the Bantams are not regarded as good travellers, we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from Saturday’s encounter. Talented Bradford midfielder Joe Adams is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league fixture, with Kenya international Clarke Oduor being ready to sneak into the starting eleven.
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.
