Prediction: 2-1
Salford
Harrogate and Salford City go head to head at EnviroVent Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting League Two game. The Sulphurites aim to put an end to their three-game winless run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Lions. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Salford. The visitors, on the other hand, are on a four-match losing run in the English fourth tier.
The Lions are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Harrogate’s party at EnviroVent Stadium. Harrogate have not defeated Salford in a competitive game since December 2016, but we believe that the time has come for the Sulphurites to put an end to the negative trend. Midfielder Ossama Ashley should miss out with injury for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Conor McAleny):
Conor McAleny is a product of Everton youth academy, joining the club from Merseyside in 2003 at the age of 11. Despite the fact that his main position is centre-forward, McAleny is used as both second striker and left winger as well. McAleny did spend his youth career at Goodison Park, but it has to be noted that he made no more than two appearances for the Toffees at senior level.
The English attacker, who was born in Whiston on August 12, 1992, made his first-team debut in a 1-0 Premier League loss to Arsenal on December, 2011. Conor McAleny played for the likes of Scunthorpe United, Brentford, Cardiff City, Charlton Athletic, Wigan Athletic and Oxford United before signing a deal with Fleetwood Town.
The right-footed striker spent the second half of the 2018/2019 season on loan at Kilmarnock, scoring 3 goals in 11 appearances for the club in the Scottish Premier League.
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.
