Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Harrogate Town will look to put an end to their three-game losing run when they host in-form Walsall at EnviroVent Stadium. The Sulphurites have struggled to find consistency this season, with the team sitting near the relegation zone. With influential midfielder Josh Falkingham still recovering from injury, Harrogate Town face a tough challenge against the league leaders.
Walsall, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, recording three consecutive wins in League Two that have propelled them to the top of the table. Manager Mat Sadler’s team has been firing on all cylinders, and they’ll be keen to maintain their momentum. However, doubts remain over the fitness of Ryan Stirk, who has been an important figure in the Saddlers’ midfield. Walsall’s sharp attack and disciplined defense give them the edge in Saturday's clash and we predict that they are going to prove their worth on the field.
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.
