Harrogate Town form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Harrogate Town's two home games in the League Two so far this season, having collected 3 points here at CNG Stadium.

Harrogate Town's previous match was also a home event, the loss 0-8 vs Blackburn Rovers (in Carabao Cup). Odoh (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 6.84/10. Odoh hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

Ahead of that match, Harrogate Town won a home game hosting Morecambe (2-0).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Harrogate have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 14 matches with the results: Won 6, drawn 3 and lost 5.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the EFL Trophy game versus Nottingham Forest U21 in only three days. This game is also played here at CNG Stadium.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Harrogate Town at home in the league. 2 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
