Harrogate v Crewe Tips, Predictions & Latest Odds
Harrogate host Crewe on Monday night, looking to make it three wins on the bounce as the EFL continues through the international break.
With the higher leagues pausing for the next 10 days or so, all eyes will be on The Exercise Stadium with Simon Weaver's side looking to break into the top half of the League Two table.
Free Bets has taken a look at some of the best tips ahead of the Monday night clash.
Harrogate v Crewe Tips
Here are our three top football tips ahead of the game.
Tip 1: BTTS No
If recent results are anything to go by, I don't think we are in for a classic on Monday night, and that will be as much down to design as anything.
Harrogate are a pretty dogged side, and make themselves hard to beat at home.
In their last three home matches, only one team has scored and there have been just four goals scored in total, while Crewe have scored just once in their last three away games.
Everything is pointing towards an attritional game, with either a goal separating the two sides or a bit of a stalemate playing out.
If I was going to edge towards either side, I would go for a Harrogate 1-0 win, but I'm expecting a low-scorer either way.
Tip 2: March 2.5+ shots, Morris to be carded
There's a couple of things that stand out to me looking at this game.
The first is the return of Josh March to Harrogate, where he played for two years having played an important part in the club's survival in League Two.
He's now at Crewe where he has hit the ground running with three goals and four assists so far this season, and you know he will be desperate to make a good impression on familiar territory.
He's been pretty trigger-happy in front of goal - with good reason - with 25 shots in 10 matches so far, and averages 2.61 shots per 90 minutes he plays.
With the Crewe attack revolving around him I expect him to have a big part to play tonight, and Bryn Morris will have a big role to play in the home midfield.
Morris has made 12 fouls in the league this season, and won 16 tackles. That is clearly someone who doesn't shirk a challenge and I think he will get his name in the book tonight.
Tip 3: HT/FT: Harrogate/Harrogate, Muldoon to score
Four of the last six goals Harrogate have scored have come in the first half of matches, and I think they will make a real effort to make life as uncomfortable for Crewe as possible from the first whistle.
And they have been reliant on Jack Muldoon for a number of years now in front of goal, and he rarely lets them down.
While Stephen Duke-McKenna has provided a very welcome alternative source of goals, Muldoon will still lead the line and I think get another important goal for the Sulphurites for his third in four matches.
