Our 3 predictions for Notts County vs Harrogate Town

1st prediction: Notts County to win or draw 9/100

2nd prediction: Over 2.5 goals in the game 57/100

3rd prediction: Score level at half time 34/25

1st prediction for Notts County vs Harrogate Town: Notts County to win or draw 9/100

With Notts County lying in the automatic promotion spots in third, they have been installed as favourites for this game. Home advantage only adds to this, as well as the fact that their opposition, Harrogate Town, are down in 16th. County have only lost twice in the league so far this season, though both of those defeats have been at home. They’re in pretty good form at the moment though, and Harrogate’s is very inconsistent, so the home team should have enough for a favourable result.

2nd prediction for Notts County vs Harrogate Town: Over 2.5 goals in the game 57/100

These are two dies who seem to attract goals, both for and against. Notts County are one of the league’s top scorers and boast some incredible attacking talent such as David McGoldrick, who has plenty of experience in higher divisions. While they have picked up five draws this season, those tend to be high scoring, with Stuart Maynard’s side having conceded a couple of goals on several occasions. Harrogate have been better at the back recently, but they are still prone to conceding a few goals in a game. With their opponent’s quality going forward, this may well be the case on Saturday, as most UK betting sites are offering solid value for the outcome in this matchup.

3rd prediction for Notts County vs Harrogate Town: Score level at half time 34/25

Again, our football predictions align well with both teams’ recent results. Games are often decided in the second half, particularly on Harrogate’s side. Three of their last four games have been level at the halfway stage, with two of those games ending in a draw. They often have enough in them to get through the first half level but then run out of steam in the second half, as was the case against league leaders Port Vale. Given Notts County’s similar quality, you’d expect similar to happen on Saturday, with the home side likely to be too much for the visitors over the course of 90 minutes.

Full preview of the game: last results and head to head

The two sides come into this game with very different fortunes, both in form and their standing in the table. 

Notts County began the season as one of the favourites for promotion, and they’ve lived up to that expectation, securing a spot in the automatic promotion places at this early stage. For those looking to back their rise, the best football betting sites are offering solid value on their promotion chances. Harrogate, on the other hand, were considered by many to be a lower mid-table side going into the season, and have met that expectation thus far. Despite this, they have established themselves as a comfortable Football League team after several campaigns in League Two, and look to be safe this season.

In recent form, County are strong, with only one defeat in five which has driven them up the table. Harrogate are more inconsistent, with two draws, two defeats and one victory. In this fixture’s past, honours are even, with Notts County having won 3-0 at Meadow Lane, after a 3-1 defeat in Yorkshire.
