Harrogate Town vs Forest Green Rovers Predictions

• Harrogate won just one of their last seven home league games.
• Forest Green are unbeaten in eight of their last nine away games.
• Harrogate picked up only 43% of their points haul at home.
• Forest Green could move nine points clear at the summit with victory.

Question marks around Harrogate’s home credentials

It has been an amazing season for Harrogate as they look like true contenders for a top-six finish despite this only being their second ever season in the EFL system. However, they are somewhat plagued with inconsistency as none of the last eight games ended with the same result as the one prior.

Perhaps it is Harrogate’s inability to turn draws into wins here that has held them back. The hosts won just one of their last seven home league games, though four of those clashes ended level. That sequence suggests that this will be no easy game for the runaway leaders.

Fantastic Forest Green to march on

It would be a travesty for the visitors if they were to drop away from their promotion position as they sit six points clear at the top with a game in hand ahead of this midweek round.

They are averaging almost two goals scored per-game in the league this term (1.89), and are unbeaten in 16 of their 18 clashes so far (W12, D4). However, three of those draws came away from home, where they remain unbeaten! (W6, D3).

While I predict a Forest Green win, I will be playing it safe on the ‘draw no bet’ market for some much needed insurance here. It may well come in handy given that Harrogate are plucky at home, with only four sides drawing more home league games than them.
