Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Harrogate will be aiming to build on back-to-back wins over Barrow and Cheltenham when they take on Colchester United in the League Two round 26. The Sulphurites have been showing signs of improvement of late, but they need to keep on winning if they are to escape the danger zone. James Daly is a major doubt following his late injury against Cheltenham, with Oliver Sanderson being ready to sneak into the starting XI.
The U’s, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Bromley and they managed to get one. Colchester aim to keep on climbing the standings and with their desire to pick up all three points from Tuesday’s clash, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Bearing any fresh injury concerns, boss Danny Cowley should not make changes to the team that defeated the Ravens at the weekend.
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.
