Harrogate Town
- Harrogate Town boss Simon Weaver has built his team to be a compact, energetic, high-pressing side, with his side looking to win the ball back high up the field and transition quickly in numbers.
- They will look to counter-attack and win the game on the break, a system which has been used recently, especially with the emergence of Tom Cursons, who has scored both of Harrogate’s last two goals in a five-match span.
- Harrogate are in 23rd, with just 18 points from 26 matches.
- Harrogate have won two, drawn one, and lost nine of their 12 home league matches this season, conceding 22 goals.
Fleetwood Town
- Fleetwood’s new boss Peter Wild has arrived with a completely different strategy, playing with his full-backs overlapping and attacking with wingers in an attempt to stretch teams out and win games with their skill and pace.
- Both Harrogate and Fleetwood come into this game in poor form, with Fleetwood’s matches since Wild’s arrival providing no real improvement on the results they were getting before.
- Fleetwood are in 15th place in League Two with 34 points from 25 games.
- Fleetwood’s away record (W3, D3, L6) is slightly better than Harrogate’s home record (W2, D1, L9).
