Harrogate Town vs Crawley Town Predictions

Defences are expected to struggle

Saturday’s League Two clash between Harrogate and Crawley at the Envirovent Stadium is likely to see goals, with both teams finding the net in seven of the last eight meetings between the sides.

Harrogate are eight places above Crawley in the table, with a six-point gap between the teams. The hosts sit 14th with two wins, two draws and two losses, while Crawley are 22nd with no wins from their six games this season.

Harrogate have been in patchy form recently, with two wins, two draws and two defeats in their last six League Two games, and Crawley have recorded four victories in the last five League Two head-to-heads.

Neither side has been solid at the back, with Harrogate failing to keep a clean sheet in 13 of their last 16 League Two games and Crawley yet to keep a clean sheet after six matches this season.

Harrogate have been in some low-scoring games of late – four of the last six have gone under 2.5 goals – but there were six goals in their clash with Grimsby last month, when they drew 3-3.

It could be hard to separate these two sides, with the 1-1 draw looking like a decent correct-score bet.
