Harrogate are one of the worst teams in League Two this season. However, only two teams will be relegated from the fourth level of English football, so they still seem to have better chances than Carlisle and Morecambe. Harrogate struggled in December and January, winning only one of the last nine matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they lost 1-0 on the road in the FA Cup against Leeds. The home side probably deserved a win with a larger margin, as Harrogate had 16 shots on the goal fewer than the opponent.
Cheltenham had a lot of problems after relegation from League One. Many expected the team from Gloucestershire to struggle in the 2024/25 season, but they are a solid mid-table League Two side. Cheltenham are playing well lately with only one defeat in the last nine matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they won 2-1 at home in the EFL Trophy against Colchester. The guests were slightly better, but the home team's efficiency made the difference between the teams.
Harrogate vs Cheltenham pick: Under 2.5 goals
Harrogate didn't score any goals in the last three home matches. On the other hand, Cheltenham scored only four goals in the previous four road games. We should expect two or fewer goals in the upcoming League Two tie.

Harrogate team news
Harrogate will surely try to add a few players and improve their chances of survival. This winter, they signed Bryn Morris (who came from Newport) and loaned Eko Solomon (from Huddersfield B). Morris has played a few games since signing and seems to be an integral part of the starting lineup, while Solomon still hasn't debuted.
