Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there's no obvious winner here, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Harrogate and Cheltenham will find the net twice at least between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Simon Weaver or Michael John Flynn has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s lately either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.30 equating to about a 74% probability.
