Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Fleetwood will look to build on a 2-0 win over Chesterfield when they take on Harrogate in the League Two round 23. The Cod Army recorded a morale-boosting win on Boxing Day and a triumph over Harrogate will see them revive their playoffs hopes. Goalkeeper David Harrington is a major doubt after limping off with injury against Chesterfield, with fellow shot-stopper Jay Lynch being ready to step up.
The Sulphurites, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last five league fixtures. As Harrogate have been struggling on the travels in December, we predict that Fleetwood are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s encounter. In their last encounter in a competitive match, Fleetwood defeated Harrogate 1-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Experienced forward Jack Muldoon is widely expected to return to Harrogate’s starting eleven.
Highlighted Team (Fleetwood):
Known for their attacking style of play, Fleetwood Town are a professional football club based in Fletwood, Lancashire. The Fishermen play their home matches at Highbury Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 5,327 (2,672 seated), with the team wearing red and white shirts in home matches.
On the other hand, Fleetwood footballers are dressed in yellow when playing on the travels. The original club was founded back in 1908 under the name of Fleetwood FC and 69 years later they were re-established as Fleetwood Town F.C. In 1998 the club was renamed to Fleetwood Wanderers after the second reformation.
Legendary England footballer Joey Barton is considered one of the club’s most notable coaches. Barton, who was known for his incidents on the field, has been in charge since June 2, 2018. Neighbouring club Blackpool are regarded as one of Fleetwood’s main rivals. The Fishermen have built up rivalries with Morecambe and Preston North End as well.
