Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Northampton Town, Grimsby will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Harrogate on Tuesday evening. Defender Anthony Driscoll-Glennon is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute against Northampton, while both Jordan Cropper and Lewis Richardson remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Sulphurites, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their three-match winless run, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in the midweek clash. Since Harrogate looked sharp in front of goal in a 2-2 draw with Crewe, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. As for the visiting side, all Dior Angus, Stephen Dooley, Will Smith, and Lewis Richards should miss out through injuries. In the first half of the season Harrogate defeated Grimsby 3-2.

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.
