Bromley need to spot the rot before they fall out of contention for the playoff places

Under 2.5 goals have been scored in half of Harrogate’s home games but only 39% have seen both teams score, adding further weight to our prediction for a 1-0 home win on Saturday.

Harrogate have only failed to score in 22% of their home matches while Bromley have failed to find the back of the net in 28% of their trips on the roads. Exactly 1-goal has been scored in 11% of the hosts’ home games and 17% of the visitors’ away trips, so both teams have played out 1-0 scorelines this season. Nine of Harrogate’s wins this season have been via a 1-goal margin while a majority of Bromley’s defeats (10) have also been by a single goal margin.

We’re confident that Harrogate will win on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0. The hosts are in fine form and their guests are in a rut heading into this weekends’ match and we can’t see this match ending in anything but a Harrogate victory. Bromley haven’t scored in their last three matches all of which have ended in defeat with under 2.5 goals being scored, while Harrogate are looking to make it six straight wins in all competitions.
