Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Bradford City, Harrogate will be looking to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face MK Dons in the League Two round 9. The Sulphurites are eyeing their third consecutive win in front of home fans, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. Ellis Taylor is a major doubt after limping off with injury at the weekend, with Samuel Folarin likely to step up.
The Dons, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their four-game winless run in all competitions. Anyhow, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals as MK Dons recorded a thrilling 5-3 win over Harrogate in their last meeting in the English fourth tier. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to North Yorkshire.
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.
