Struggling Chorley will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Harrogate Town in the upcoming league round. It’s 24th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Chorley form and stats
Overall Vanarama National League stats at home this season for Chorley are 3-5-5 (wins-draw-losses).
In their previous game, the manager J. Vermiglio led his Chorley to a defeat in the Vanarama National League match away at Wrexham. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at The Chorley Group Victory Park Stadium. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Dover Athletic that ended 1-1.
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 Chorley have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won 4 Drawn 2 Lost 3.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Vanarama National League game versus Wrexham in only four days. This game is also played here at The Chorley Group Victory Park Stadium.
Chorley have scored 11 league goals here from 13 matches, not a lot. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Chorley defense is not exactly impregnable. 20 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Harrogate Town form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Harrogate Town so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 3-4-6 (win-draw-lose). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Harrogate Town are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Harrogate Town won their last game, 4-1 versus Hartlepool United played at home. Prior to that match, the Harrogate Town manager S. Weaver faced defeat when travelling to Boreham Wood and losing 1-2.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Harrogate Town in our archives, and the results are: 5 wins for Harrogate Town, 3 draws and 5 defeats.
