Prediction: 2-2
Newport County
EnviroVent Stadium will host Tuesday’s League Two game between Harrogate and Newport County, the two mid-table sides. The Sulphurites are eager to put an end to their three-match winless run, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for Simon Weaver’s troops. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Newport County.
The Exiles, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 3-0 loss to MK Dons. As both side are determined to stay in the playoffs race, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Shane McLoughlin limped off with injury in the last league fixture, with Lewis Payne likely to replace him in the starting XI. You should know that over 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous seven meetings between the two sides in the English fourth tier.
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.
