Our Three Predictions For Harrogate Town vs Notts County

        • Prediction 1 – Alassana Jatta To Score – 11/8
        • Prediction 2 –  Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 77/100
        • Prediction 3 – Notts County To Win – 9/4

First Prediction For Harrogate Town vs Notts County – Alassana Jatta To Score – 11/8

The Gambian is arguably the most dangerous striker in League Two, and when alongside David McGoldrick, County arguably have the best front line in the fourth tier. The 26-year-old finally broke a five-game goal duck against Cheltenham Town in their last match. Having scored on average once every two games across his career at Meadow Lane, he will be the focal point in breaking Harrogate’s backline, especially from set-pieces. He was the difference maker in the reverse fixture on the banks of the River Trent and there is no reason why he cannot do the same when visiting Wetherby Road this time around.

Second Prediction For Harrogate Town vs Notts County – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 77/100

In their last five games, Harrogate have seen more than 2.5 goals in four of those matches, the only anomaly coming on the road against AFC Wimbledon. County have had three of their games go over the threshold, and arguably it could have been four should some of the efforts from both sides went in when they visited Bradford City. The Magpies have averaged 1.45 goals per game, and have conceded just over a goal per game. Town are not heavy hitters in front of goal, ranking 21st in terms of goals scored. But with recent form on their side, there could be a few goals in this game.

Third Prediction For Harrogate Town vs Notts County – Notts County To Win – 9/4

A win for County will effectively seal their involvement in the play-offs and they will feel confident they can do that in this game. Harrogate have nothing left to play for as they sealed their safety a few weeks ago. Stuart Maynard’s side will want to build confidence once more after that knock against Cheltenham Town but will feel they can bounce back in this game. With David McGoldrick in fine form and Alassana Jatta being the dangerous striker he is, no defence will be able to stop them so a solid defensive performance should be enough to take all three points with them back down the M1.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head

Notts County enter the game in a fairly comfortable position in their hunt for play-off football but will still feel the sting of their loss to Cheltenham Town on Easter Monday, which ended their chance to claim an automatic promotion spot this season. With Port Vale playing AFC Wimbledon and kicking off half an hour before the game, a win could move The Magpies up into fourth place and hand them an important second leg home advantage in the playoff semi finals. Just a single point will seal a top-seven finish this season for Stuart Maynard’s side. In their last five matches, they have picked up just four points, with a win over MK Dons, a draw with Bradford City and three losses to Cheltenham, Salford City and Colchester United.

Harrogate Town’s season is effectively over with their recent run of form ending any remote chance that they could be dragged into a relegation spot. The Sulphurites sit in 19th place, on 50 points and a win could see them leapfrog MK Dons. Across their last five, they have picked up eight points with two wins over Fleetwood Town and Tranmere Rovers, two draws with Grimsby Town and Walsall and a solitary loss to AFC Wimbledon. They bounced back just four minutes after Fleetwood took the lead at Wetherby Road on Easter Monday, scoring three to convincingly beat Pete Wild’s side and that result confirmed they would remain in EFL League Two next season.

Being rivals both in the National League and League Two, these teams have played six times since 2019. They share three wins apiece, and there has never been a draw between these two sides. The last two games went in favour of The Magpies, and it was Alassana Jatta who made the difference at Meadow Lane in this season’s reverse fixture.
