Harrogate Town travels to Stockport County this weekend, where they will attempt to defy the odds and pick up a win. However, the last two meetings have ended 3-1 for the Hatters.
Stockport County
After a minor blip towards the end of December, Stockport are now back to their normal selves, picking up consecutive wins. The most recent of those was a comfortable 5-1 demolishing of Doncaster, where they were three up by just after the half-hour mark.
The Hatters are leading the way in League Two, winning 17 of their 28 matches and picking up 57 points. They’re the joint top scorers in the division with 61 goals, while also only conceding the second lowest, 28.
Harrogate Town
The Suplhurites are one of the most in-form teams in the league, having won all three of their last three. However, last time out, they narrowly beat 23rd-place Sutton United 2-1 in a game where they had fewer shots and corners.
Nevertheless, Harrogate are still eighth in the table, with 13 wins from 28 games. They’ve also only drawn four games, which makes them almost an all-or-nothing side. Most of their games have been won via their defence, as they’ve only conceded 36 goals, but their attack’s only scored 36.
Verdict?
The lack of goals will end up costing Harrogate this weekend, even though they’re on fire.
Another three points should be going Stockport’s way.
The final prediction is Stockport County 2-0 Harrogate Town.
