Competition League Two
TV Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football
There will be plenty on the line at the Exercise Stadium in League Two on Saturday as relegation-threatened Harrogate play host to a Notts County team aiming to get their automatic promotion push back on track.
It has been a difficult season for Harrogate, whose six-year stay in the EFL is under major threat. The Sulphurites are second-bottom and a point adrift of safety after losing three of their last four games.
Notts County missed the chance to move into the top three following a chastening midweek defeat at Oldham, but the Magpies can break into the automatic promotion positions, for a few hours at least, if they return to winning ways in North Yorkshire.

Harrogate vs Notts County preview
Harrogate are deep in the relegation mire and their record at the Exercise Stadium is one of the main reasons they are languishing in the bottom two.
Simon Weaver’s side have collected just 12 points from 19 home matches, the lowest total of any team in the division, while they have only won once in the league in front of their own supporters since September.
A mini-revival in February, which included a rare home win over Cambridge, has been brought to a halt by three defeats in four matches this month, and a visit from high-flying Notts County is unlikely to bring any respite for the division’s lowest scorers.
Notts County were beaten 3-0 at Oldham in midweek but there were extenuating circumstances for that defeat as midfielder Ollie Norburn was shown a second red card of the month.
Before that setback, the Magpies had thrashed Cheltenham 5-2 on home soil and put four past Accrington Stanley without reply.
The return of 14-goal leading scorer Matthew Dennis as a late substitute against Oldham was a positive on an otherwise difficult night and he should come back into the starting line-up on Saturday, further boosting Martin Paterson’s promotion hopefuls.
The Magpies are unbeaten in their last four meetings with Harrogate, winning three of those games, and they are the value choice to pick up another three points on Saturday.
