With their 8 point advantage in the league table, Harrogate Town fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Scunthorpe United.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a FA Cup match only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Blackpool, was also a home game here at CNG Stadium. The away team is better rested.
Harrogate Town form and stats
With 1 League Two win, 3 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Harrogate Town are certainly not brimming with confidence.
The Harrogate fans got no joy from their last match, a FA Cup game also here at CNG Stadium: A 0-4 defeat against Blackpool. In the game before, an away victory in the League Two match versus Mansfield Town with a 1-0 scoreline.
As you see from the result above, Harrogate Town suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Harrogate Town as they have a new game in only four days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Forest Green Rovers are visiting.

Scunthorpe United form and stats
