Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Wednesday’s football game at Exercise Stadium pits together Harrogate Town and Salford City, the two teams with completely different ambitions for the remainder of the season. The Sulphurites are fighting hard to avoid relegation, while the Lions are eyeing promotion to League One. Considering that Harrogate have collected only one point in total from the last five league matches, home win should not be considered. Josh March should keep his place up front after getting his name on the scoresheet in a 1-1 draw with Fleetwood.
Salford, meanwhile, have found their best form of late, with the team winning each of their last four league matches. Given poor atmosphere in Harrogate Town’s dressing room, we predict that the promotion-chasing visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. Matthew Lund should be recalled to Salford’s starting XI after scoring as a substitute at the weekend.
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.
