An away draw last time out for Harrogate Town, facing Tranmere Rovers in a game that ended 1-1. Thomson was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.32 out of 10. The defender Thomson served one assist, hit three key passes and won 2 of 2 duels.

Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Barrow.

This is expected to be a close game, with Harrogate perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

There will be little rest for Harrogate Town after this match as they are travelling to Leyton Orient for a League Two game in only three days.

The Harrogate Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 23 in 19 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Harrogate Town have conceded 27 goals.
