National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Harrogate Town or Nottingham Forest U21 that keep their silverware dream alive.

It's no vacation for neither Harrogate nor Nottingham Forest U21 as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Harrogate Town form and stats

Harrogate Town was eliminated in the group stage last season in the EFL Trophy.

Harrogate Town have played three League Two home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

The Harrogate Town club members got no joy from their last match, also played here at CNG Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Barrow. The penalty miss from Muldoon in the defeat against Barrow was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen. Ramsay, defender, was given a rating of 7.5/10 in that game, top of the team. Ramsay won 14 of 19 duels.

Before that match, a home defeat in the Carabao Cup against Blackburn Rovers. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Harrogate have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 6 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 3 and lost 1.

Harrogate Town are traveling soon after this match as the League Two match at Gillingham awaits in four days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Harrogate Town here at CNG Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). Harrogate are not conceding a lot of goals here at CNG Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.

Nottingham Forest U21 form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Premier League 2 Division One for Nottingham Forest U21 with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Arsenal U21.

It's early days yet, but Nottingham Forest U21 has scored 2 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
