Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting it's unlikely that this game will deliver 4 goals or more, and the odds and stats point in the same direction as our predictive algorithm on this one. Cheltenham and Harrogate have rarely treated their fans to a high volume of goals of late, whether that be in League Two individually or in head-to-head clashes. So, in the absence of a convincing favourite win or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.30.
