Match description

Bristol Rovers are the favorites in this match due to markedly better form: 4 wins in their last 5 games and 2.4 points per game over that period, while Harrogate have 2 wins and 1.2 points. The home side generates more chances at home (avg. 13.25 shots and 3.6 on target) compared to the visitors away (11.15 shots and 3.45 on target), but Harrogate’s weakness is finishing — only 0.6 goals per game with an xG of 1.45. Bristol score away on average 0.95 goals with an xG of 1.29 and have a higher conversion rate (around 9% vs 5% for the hosts), and they also concede goalless matches less often (FTS 35% vs 60% for Harrogate). Defensively both teams concede on average 1.65 goals in these fixtures, so the outcome will be decided by efficiency and the visitors’ optimal form; therefore 55% for a Bristol win, 25% for a draw and 20% for a Harrogate win.
