Harrogate Town will be looking for a win that will see them reach the FA Cup third round for only the third time in their history this week when they play host to Gainsborough.
The hosts beat Wrexham 1-0 in the first round to get this far, while the Blue Boy beat our Hednesford Town 5-4 on penalties after a dramatic 4-4 draw.
Harrogate Town have not done many things right in Football League Two this season. The Sulphurites sit in the bottom seven after picking up just 21 points from their 17 games and are scoring less than a goal per game this season. However, they are starting to turn things around and are unbeaten in their last three games, registering two wins and one draw.
Gainsborough Trinity have also been in fine form of late. The visitors are unbeaten in their last nine games in all competitions, winning seven and drawing two. Having kept a clean sheet in each of their last three games, winning 5-0 on aggregate, they will be fancying their chances of beating Harrogate Town this week.
Harrogate Town vs Gainsborough Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
The last time Harrogate Town and Gainsborough Trinity played a goalless draw was about 17 years ago. There have been eight meetings between the two sides since then and only three produced less than three goals.
The recent games of Horragate Town and Gainsborough were also very entertaining. Each of the last four games of the hosts produced at least three goals, while just two of the last seven games of the Sulphurites ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Harrogate Town vs Gainsborough prediction: 2-1

Harrogate Town team news
After his side came from a goal down to beat Gillingham in Football League Two last weekend, head coach Simon Weaver is expected to resist the temptation to change his XI against Gainsborough this week.
With his goal in that game, Josh March has now scored twice this season and should keep his place in the final third alongside Jack Muldoon, while Anthony O'Connor will be the man to watch in defence.
