Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Harrogate and Morecambe face each other at Exercise Stadium in what is expected to be a close encounter. The Sulphurites failed to win the previous three league matches, but they did well to eliminate Wrexham in their FA Cup opener. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, Nigeria forward Samuel Folarin is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the FA Cup triumph.
The Shrimps, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run in the League Two, but the FA Cup win over Worthing gave them a confidence boost. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Morecambe have been struggling defensively in the English fourth tier of late. Barbados forward Hallam Hope is widely expected to return to Morecambe’s starting XI, with Kayden Harrack pushing for a start as well.
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.
