Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Harrogate Town & Blackpool face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the FA 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 Harrogate Town and Blackpool.
Harrogate Town form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the FA Cup for Harrogate, as the manager S. Weaver led his troops to eliminate Skelmersdale United, and reach the 2nd Round. Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the 1st round.Harrogate Town's results here at CNG Stadium in the League Two have been very modest with 1 victory, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
Happy days for Harrogate Town in their previous game, a League Two match away at Mansfield Town that ended with a 1-0 victory. Prior to that, an away loss at Leyton Orient in the League Two.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Scunthorpe United are coming to town in three days.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Harrogate here at CNG Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 6 games). 6 goals have been conceded.
Blackpool form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Eastbourne Borough in order to reach 2nd Round of FA Cup. Blackpool was sent out of FA Cup in the 3rd round replays last season.The visitors are W2-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the League One.
There might be some fixture complaints from Blackpool as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the League One match against Doncaster Rovers (2-3). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Peterborough United at their stadium, the result 2-1.
A huge disappointment for Blackpool in their last match (vs Doncaster Rovers). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Portsmouth in just three days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Blackpool as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Blackpool have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
