Perhaps a welcome break from league football as West Bromwich Albion & Harrogate Town face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Carabao Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for WBA and Harrogate Town.
West Bromwich Albion form and stats
Last season their Carabao Cup adventure ended in the 1st round.0-0-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for West Bromwich Albion so far this season.
The West Bromwich Albion fans got no joy from their last match, a Premier League game also here at The Hawthorns: A 0-3 defeat against Leicester City. A Championship defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Huddersfield Town.
The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for WBA home games with this odds we find five games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in two wins, three draws and zero defeats. Looking at the victories, two matches were won by at least two goals.
There will be little rest for WBA after this match as they are travelling to Everton for a Premier League game in only three days.
Early season league goal statistics from West Bromwich Albion's 1 home game: 0 goals, 3 conceded.
Harrogate Town form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Tranmere Rovers in order to reach 2nd Round of Carabao Cup.The story so far for the visiting team on their League Two travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats. Momentum is building for Harrogate in their away games, having won their two previous outings.
Two travels in a row for Harrogate, whose manager S. Weaver could celebrate last time after the League Two win against Southend United. Ahead of that match was the EFL Trophy away draw versus Grimsby Town (after extra-time, 5-4 on penalties) that ended 2-2.
As mentioned above, Harrogate was the only team on the pitch versus Southend United in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
After this away game Harrogate return home for a League Two game against Walsall. That game is only three sleeps after this.
It's early days yet, but Harrogate Town has scored 4 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
