Harrogate Town form and stats
The story so far in the League Two for Harrogate Town at their home stadium (CNG Stadium) is 6 wins, 5 draws and 9 defeats.
The spoils were shared in Harrogate's previous game, also at home. Visiting Leyton Orient (placed 11th) travelled back with a draw after a 2-2 scoreline. Heartbreak before that as Harrogate lost 1-2 at Bolton Wanderers's place.
A painful moment in the game against Leyton Orient was the missed penalty kick from Jack Muldoon in the 73rd minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
