The72’s writers offer their Harrogate Town vs Bradford City prediction ahead of the League Two clash on Saturday.

Harrogate Town head into their League Two clash with Bradford City off the back of two 0-0 draws in a row against promotion chasing pair Wrexham and Barrow. Simon Weaver’s side are sat in 14th place and are only six points off the play-offs.

The Sulphurites have had another satisfactory season in the Football League. They have eight fixtures left to play.

As for Bradford City, they are a point behind their upcoming opponents in the table. Their hopes of reaching the top seven are fading away fast.

The Bantams were beaten 3-0 at home by Notts County last time out. They have now lost their last three games on the spin.

Here, a handful of our writers make their predictions for the game…

Harry Mail

“Harrogate Town managed to keep Wrexham and Barrow at bay and have put in some solid defensive performances recently. However, the goals have dried up at the other end of the pitch.

“Simon Weaver’s side will be confident of getting a result against Bradford City at home and if they do, their chances of getting into the play-offs are not over just yet.

“The Bantams have fallen apart and have let in 10 goals in their last three outings. Pressure is mounting on Graham Alexander with their season slipping away from them.

“I can see the visitors struggling again here but they may get a draw.”

Harrogate Town vs Bradford City prediction: 1-1

James Ray

“Both these sides looked like they could be mounting late pushes for the play-offs but form has fallen away and while the top seven is still in reach, it feels an unlikely prospect for both.

“Harrogate Town’s home form was central to their success earlier in the season but three straight defeats will give Bradford hope of recovering from a disappointing loss in the week. They’ve lost three in a row though, so neither are coming into this with much confidence.

“I wouldn’t be all that surprised if this ended level, and maybe even goalless. However, the Bantams might just nick it.”

Harrogate Town vs Bradford City prediction: 0-1
