Our prediction for this League 2 match:
St James Park will host Tuesday’s postponed game between Exeter and Harrogate. Exeter are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, and the bookies see them as favourites to win the midweek clash. Harry Kite is unlikely to feature against Harrogate after limping off with injury at the weekend, with Matt Jay likely to step up. You should know that the hosts are eyeing their third consecutive clean sheet in the League Two.
The Sulphurites, on the other hand, played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Rochdale in their last league match. Harrogate sit in the bottom half of the table ahead of Tuesday’s clash, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Exeter’s party at St James Park. Calum Kavanagh has overcome his injury, while both Rory McArdle and Lewis Richards remain in the recovery room, as well as long-term absentees Ryan Fallowfield and Simon Power.
Highlighted Player (Nicky Ajose):
Nicky Ajose is an English footballer who started his youth career at Manchester United. Despite signing a professional deal with the Red Devils, Ajose did not see any game action for the English giants at the senior level. After spending the 2010/2011 season on loan at Bury, the 168-cm tall forward signed a contract with Peterborough United in the summer of 2011.
Nicky Ajose played for the likes of Scunthorpe United, Chesterfield, Crawley Town, Bury, and Swindon Town on loan before joining Leeds United on a three-year deal in August 2014. However, the English striker made no more than three league appearances for the Whites before signing a loan deal with Crewe Alexandra. In September 2015, he returned to Swindon Town, signing a three-year contract with the Robins.
Nicky Ajose played for the likes of Charlton Athletic, Bury (loan), and Mansfield (loan) before moving to his current club Exeter City. The Grecians attacker was born in Bury, England, on October 7, 1991, and his preferred foot is right.
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.
