After losing 3-0 to Swindon Town in their previous League Two match, Harrogate Town will be looking to rebound here. Swindon Town received goals from Joe Tomlinson (78′) and Rushian Hepburn-Murphy (8′, 40′). In their last six games, Harrogate Town, led by Simon Weaver, have scored five goals.
In their most recent match, Northampton Town defeated Colchester United by a score of 0-1 in League Two. Louis Appéré was the only Northampton Town player to score (41′). A strikingly low number of goals have been scored by Northampton Town and opposing teams in five of the previous six games.
Prediction
We think Harrogate Town will really need to work hard to get past this Northampton Town team’s defense, which we think has the edge. As a result, we anticipate a highly competitive game with a 0-1 Northampton Town advantage at halftime. It will be fascinating to observe how this one develops.
