An exciting game awaits us on Tuesday evening when Harrogate Town and Nottingham Forest u21 meet on the first matchday of the group stage of the Football League Trophy.
Finishing in the bottom eight of League Two has been the story of Harrogate Town for the last three seasons. The hosts finished 19th last season and are currently in the same position. This is largely down to their home form. To put this into perspective, Simon Weaver's side have lost three of their five home games played so far this season.
Nottingham Forest's U21s meanwhile have lost only one of their four PL2 Division 1 games this season. However, their performances have been very average, as two of those games ended in draws. Warren Joyce's side have been much praised for their home strength in recent months. Away from home things have been different as they suffered two defeats in their last three away games.
Harrogate Town vs Nottingham Forest U21 Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Harrogate Town's defensive work has been really poor so far this season. The hosts enter this game with just one clean sheet from their last six matches across all competitions. Bets on the 'over 2.5 goals' option were won in three of the last five games.
Nottingham Forest U21's defence is as poor as the hosts'. The visitors have only managed to keep a clean sheet once in their last five matches, and in three of those games over 2.5 goals were scored.
