Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Harrogate Town and Newport County square off against each other at EnviroVent Stadium in a highly-anticipated League Two game. The Sulphurites have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Bradford City, losing to MK Dons, while sharing the spoils with Swindon Town, but they are still seen as favourites to win Saturday’s clash. Barring any fresh injury worries, Simon Weaver is unlikely to make changes to the team that shared the spoils with the Robins.
Meanwhile, the Exiles aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Bradford City. As Newport County have already suffered four defeats on the road this term, we predict that Harrogate are going to pick up all three points from the match. Midfielder Cameron Antwi is pushing for a recall to the starting XI as Nelson Jardim should opt to make changes to the team that faced the Bantams on Monday evening.
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.
