Harrogate Town head into this fixture looking to build on a 0–0 draw with Bromley, but injuries continue to disrupt their plans. Therefore, we predict that they will play out a 1-1 draw with Cheltenham Town in the opening match of League Two round 35. Bradbury, Duke-McKenna, and Hill all remain sidelined, leaving the hosts short of depth in key areas. Harrogate’s overall numbers reflect their inconsistency: just 0.80 PPG across all venues and only 20% win rate. Despite averaging 2.00 goals per game at home, they score only 0.60 per match, heavily influenced by a high 60% failure-to-score rate. Defensive concerns persist too, with an overall xGA of 1.65.
The Robins head into Saturday's game following a dramatic 3–2 victory over Salford City, where George Miller came off the bench to score and now looks set to be recalled to the starting XI. Their form, however, remains shaky: just 0.60 PPG overall and 0% away win rate. Cheltenham concede 2.00 goals per away game, though their 80% BTTS away rate shows they usually find a way to compete in matches.
Considering Cheltenham's BTTS away at 80% and Harrogate's overall BTTS at 40%, Both Teams to Score is our main betting tip for this League Two matchup. Additionally, Over 1.5 goals bet seems appealing as 60% of H2H meetings have passed this line.
This League 2 match will be played on Friday 27 February 2026 at 19:45.
