Harrogate Town come into this game sitting 17th place in EFL League Two. This having picked up 15 points in 14 matches.
They don’t tend to score too many goals overall having only scored eleven this season. However they don’t tend to concede a whole load either having only shipped 19 this season.

Following their promotion to EFL League One Wrexham have had a decent start to the season. They are currently third in the division having earned 25 points in 13 matches. They have looked very good.
Similarly to Harrogate they don’t really score that many but are solid defensively not letting a lot in. In the league they have scored 21 and conceded just 10 - the least amount of goals conceded in the division.
These two teams have played one another just eight times in their histories.
Both sides are level in terms of victories both picking up two wins. However the majority of games have resulted in draws with four draws being played out in that time.
Wrexham haven’t actually beaten Harrogate since January 2020 with the last two games ending in draws. But who will come out on top in this FA Cup fixture?
12th March 2024 - Wrexham AFC 0-0 Harrogate Town - EFL League Two
28th November 2023 - Harrogate Town 2-2 Wrexham AFC - EFL League Two

25th January 2020 - Harrogate Town 0-2 Wrexham AFC - National League
8th October 2019 - Wrexham AFC 1-1 Harrogate Town - National League
This could be an interesting game with both sides playing similar styles. They both tend to score while both conceding very few.
Despite this though Wrexham are a much stronger team and should get through this game fairly simply. We wouldn’t expect them to face many issues in this match.
We are backing odds of 5/8, for Wrexham AFC To Win in this match. These odds mean that £10, has the potential to return up to £16.30.
(Odds subject to change)
Harrogate Town 0-2 Wrexham AFC
Wrexham are the stronger of the two teams but with Harrogate’s record of conceding few don’t expect this to be as easy as it may seem on paper. Nonetheless the away side should win here.
