After three games we know a little more about the qualities of Harrogate Town and Bolton Wanderers in this fresh League Two season. Read our match preview!

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

D D L W D

Harrogate Town form and stats

A League Two draw at home so far for Harrogate Town. Last season their home statistics were 12 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats from 19 matches. Harrogate Town haven’t lost a league-game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Wrexham, 251 days ago.

Harrogate shared the glory with Port Vale in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Walsall.

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 seven matches with the results: Won three, drawn one and lost three.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Harrogate as they have a new game in only three days, a EFL Trophy match thankfully also at home. Leicester U21 are visiting.

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

Bolton Wanderers form and stats

Bolton Wanderers have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the League Two were 1 victory, 3 draws and 13 defeats from 17 fixtures. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in twelve away games in a row. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Wanderers, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The Tranmere Rovers game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Bolton Wanderers aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 270 league minutes without a goal. J. Muldoon was the last player to find the net.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a League Two home defeat versus Newport County with 0-2 on the scoreboard. A 0-2 defeat away at Colchester United before that.

Wanderers goalkeeper William Crellin had a great day against Newport County, but despite making seven saves the loss could not be avoided.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found two similar matches played by Bolton Wanderers in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Bolton Wanderers, one draw and one defeat.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The EFL Trophy trip to Shrewsbury Town.

0 goals so far away for Bolton Wanderers, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 1 league match away.
