Forest Green hosts Harrogate this weekend, where they will look to end their run of poor form. When the two sides met earlier in the season, it ended in a 1-0 win for the Green Devils.
Forest Green
The Green Devils have struggled massively this season, which is highlighted by the fact they’re in 23rd place with just 18 points from 25 matches. They’ve been poor at both ends of the field, scoring just 1.04 goals per game, the second lowest average, while conceding 1.84, the fourth highest average.
Last time out, they failed to win for the seventh consecutive game as they drew 2-2 on the road to Salford. It looked like Forest Green were going to claim three points until a 91st minute penalty was converted by the hosts.
Harrogate
Harrogate’s form as of late has been exceptional, with the side winning four of their last six matches in League Two. The Sulphurites have been boosted up the table due to this, and they now sit in 12th with 11 wins from 26 games. The majority of their points have been won due to their solid defence, which has conceded just 1.23 goals per game on average.
On the other hand, they’ve only scored 32 goals this season, but last time out, they netted three against Doncaster in a comfortable 3-1 win. The Sulphurites faced plenty of shots, but their attack pulled them through the tie.
Verdict?
Harrogate will fancy themselves to pick up three points this weekend, whereas Forest Green will take a point. That said, the visitors should just edge it.
The final prediction is Forest Green 1-2 Harrogate.
