Harrogate Team News 

Harrogate is playing its second season in League Two. They were promoted in 2020 to the fourth tier for the first time in their history. In their first two seasons in this league, they stay comfortably with 17th and 19th-place finishes and they were far from the relegation fight.

This season, their third, is probably the hardest in this league. Harrogate is 21st in the table with 30 points and seven wins after 32 games. They are only four points above the relegation zone and they are in a very difficult situation.

Their problems were visible in the second part of the last season then they have had only three wins in the last 15 games. They started this season in the same manner.

Harrogate is five games without a win and they have only one win in the last 11 games. Only Rochdale and Crawley have won fewer points than Harrogate since the start of the year. They kept two clean sheets in the last 14 games and failed to score in three of the last 15 games.

Harrogate is very poor at home this season. They are five games without a win and they have only three wins this season. Also, they have only three clean sheets at home.

They have a very solid attack with 37 goals scored, but their defence is very poor with 50 goals conceded and only three teams conceding more goals.

In the next couple of weeks, Harrogate has a very mixed schedule with fixtures against the clubs from the top and bottom, if they continue this poor run they will be in huge trouble.

Northampton Team News 

This is Northampton’s second season in League Two since its relegation from League One in 2021. Last season they finished 4th in a very dramatic fashion because of goals scored and later they suffered defeat in the playoffs. This season Northampton wants a place in the top three and to escape playoffs.

For now, they are 4th in the table with 55 points and 15 wins after 32 games. They are only two points behind Stevenage and three points behind Carlisle. They have a game in hand in contrast to Carlisle and a game more than Stevenage.

Northampton was four games without a win and they managed to win away from home against Colchester on Saturday. That was a very important win, especially after a shocking defeat at home to Grimsby 10 days ago.

Since Boxing Day, Northampton isn’t in great shape. In 11 games they have only three wins and their form recently is on the same level as most of the teams from the bottom half of the table.

But they have the luck that most of the teams in the top half of the table are also struggling with form and because Northampton is in a very good position.

In the next 11 days, Northampton has three games against one of the worst teams in the league. They will play against Harrogate, Crawley, and Hartlepool. These three teams are 21st, 22nd, and 23rd in the table.

That’s an amazing opportunity for the club to return to winning ways in good fashion and to improve its position on the table. You can’t ask for a better schedule.

Northampton is a side that won more points away from home (29) than at their stadium (26) and they are three games without a defeat away from home and they failed to score in only three games.

The good thing for Northampton is that they are good against the teams from the bottom of the table. In 13 games against sides from 13th to 24th place, they suffered only one defeat.

Harrogate vs Northampton Prediction 

Northampton is a favourite here because they are much stronger teams. Both clubs are struggling recently with forms, especially since Boxing Day, so if you watch only forms none of them is a favourite to win.

But, we believe that Northampton is capable of escaping defeat here all three points here because they have a very good schedule in the next couple of weeks and a great opportunity to make a progress into the top 3, which is their main goal for this season.
