Exeter City vs Harrogate Town Predictions

• Exeter can move into the automatic promotion places with victory.
• Exeter top the five-game form table in League Two (W4, D1).
• Harrogate failed to win each of their last five away games (D1, L4).

The Grecians are eyeing a classic performance

Exeter City look to be hitting form at just the right time as they head into this rearranged fixture, they will overtake Northampton into the final automatic promotion place with victory here and they will be confident of doing so following a run of five victories in their last six outings.

The hosts have won only half of their home league games this season (W7, D5, L2) though they have recently turned a corner with a three-game unbeaten run here following three consecutive competitive home defeats.

Harrogate have fizzled out

A 3-3 draw involving Harrogate last time out made brilliant viewing for the neutral, though squandering a 3-1 lead to draw only served to frustrate Harrogate as they have now just one win from their last six games (D2, L3).

Ten points adrift of the play-offs at the time of writing, Harrogate will still rely on other results even if they win their games in hand, of which is is one. However, that will be easier said than done as the visitors picked up more points than only two other sides across the last five away rounds.

Given what is at stake here, I predict an Exeter victory, one which will pile more misery on this Harrogate side that have failed to score in five of their last six away trips. However, a three-goal haul last time out may just inspire Harrogate to get on the scoresheet again in a potential 2-1 defeat.
