Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Harrogate will be aiming to put an end to their eight-game winless run when they take on Bradford City in the League Two round 40. The Sulphurites have been struggling in front of goal of late, but a win over Bradford will see them revive their playoffs hopes. Both Sutton and Sivi are pushing for a start after the duo came off the bench in a goalless draw with Barrow.
The Bantams, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league matches. As Bradford City experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to McGoldrick-less Notts County, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. The bad news for the visiting side is that forward Alex Gillead suffered an injury in the midweek defeat. Harrison Chapman is widely expected to replace him in the starting XI.
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.
