Harrogate Town form and stats

5-4-6 (win-draw-lost) are the League Two numbers at home for Harrogate Town so far this season. There’s a good atmosphere here at CNG Stadium after three straight home wins.

In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Barrow.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Harrogate Town have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 19 games) they have won eleven times, drawn four and lost four.

The manager S. Weaver will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Forest Green Rovers in only four days.

Harrogate aren't scoring a lot here at CNG Stadium in the league, with only 12 goals from 15 games. On the other hand, Harrogate have conceded 15 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Colchester United form and stats

There's been little loot from Colchester United's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 16 away games in the League Two. Colchester United only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 7 draws. Colchester seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Carlisle United.

We have checked recent matches where Colchester have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eleven games were one victory, three draws and seven defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Colchester manager S. Ball as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Grimsby Town.

The attacking power of Colchester when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 16 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As for defending, Colchester rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 26 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Colchester United - Harrogate Town 2-1.
