National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Harrogate Town or Skelmersdale United that keep their silverware dream alive.
Harrogate have less rest than Skelmersdale United in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a League Two game only three days ago. This match was also played here at CNG Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Skelmersdale United have had more rest.
Harrogate Town form and stats
Harrogate participated in FA Cup the last season, where they reached the 1st round.1-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the League Two numbers at home for Harrogate Town so far this season.
Harrogate's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Tranmere Rovers. A League Two defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Newport County.
It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Harrogate Town have performed as huge favourites like they are today: four games found in the database showing two Harrogate wins, one draw and one defeat.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Harrogate Town, as the EFL Trophy home game vs Hull City is only four days away.
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 (4 from 5 games). Harrogate have conceded 5 in these home matches.
Skelmersdale United form and stats
Skelmersdale's mission in FA Cup last season failed in the preliminary round.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Skelmersdale United so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-15 (win-draw-lose). The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the FA Cup stats, they have 6 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses both home and away. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Skelmersdale have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 14 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Radcliffe Borough game. It's looking increasingly bleak for Skelmersdale United who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Market Drayton Town was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Two travels in a row for Skelmersdale, whose manager T. Laswon could celebrate last time after the FA Cup win against Stafford Rangers.
Nobody expects Skelmersdale to collect anything from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath 49 times before, with the overall statistics of won six, draw 14 and lost 29. When defeated, 17 matches have been lost by two or more goals.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Skelmersdale as they have only managed to score 12 times from 19 away games in the league. There are big problems for the Skelmersdale defense as they have conceded 63 goals in 19 away games.
