Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Harrogate will try to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Crawley Town when they face Wrexham in the League Two round 20. The Sulphurites have been struggling at home ground of late, with the team losing four of their last five home games. As Harrogate footballers are low on confidence ahead of Tuesday’s encounter, home win should not be considered.
The visitors, on the other hand, produced their best performance of the season at the weekend, with the team crushing Morecambe 6-0. Paul Mullin, who scored a hat-trick, against the Shrimps, is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line, while Anthony Forde should miss out with injury. Jacob Mendy is widely expected to replace the Ireland international in the starting XI. When the two teams met in the FA Cup two years ago Harrogate defeated Wrexham, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge.
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.
