Harrogate Town form and stats

Last season, Harrogate Town's league statistics were 16 wins, 9 draws and 21 losses, resulting in a 17th position in the League Two. Over these 46 matches they scored 52 goals and conceded 61. Playing at home last season Harrogate Town managed 8-5-10 (win-draw-lost) with 24 goals and 29 conceded.

This is expected to be a close game, with Harrogate Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Harrogate Town as a small favourite), we find ten games. Harrogate has won seven of these, drawn one and lost two.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Rochdale are coming to town in three days.

With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Harrogate Town friendly games in pre-season: Harrogate Town played six friendlies, won 2, drew 0 and lost 4. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Harrogate Town scored 7 goals and conceded 14 in these six games.

Rochdale form and stats

The last season was not a pleasant experience for Rochdale as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 11 victories from 46 games, relegation was a fact. Rochdale's manager R. Stockdale are hoping to lead the team right back to League One at the first attempt.

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

The schedule is very tough for Rochdale now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Carabao Cup game at Harrogate Town is waiting in only three days.

It's a day of discovery for Rochdale as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Rochdale have played five with the results W1-D2-L2 (win-draw-lost). In these games Rochdale has scored 7 goals and conceded 11 times.
