After their convincing victory over the weekend, Wrexham will be brimming with confidence as they look to win three straight at home.
“Parkinson’s team will be eager to play Harrogate because they have a game in hand over MK Dons, who are in fourth place, and because they are now two points ahead of their opponents for automatic promotion.
It will be difficult for the visitors to win anything on Tuesday against Wrexham because they haven’t won in six games following their crushing 9-2 loss to Mansfield Town.

“Wrexham have put themselves in a really strong position as they eye automatic promotion from League One.
“They need to ensure that they stay consistent between now and the end of the season to help get over the line.
“This could potentially be a tricky evening for Phil Parkinson’s side against Harrogate Town and they may need to be patient against the Yorkshire club.
“However, in the end I think the hosts will be too strong for their visitors. If they can get the first goal, I can see them scoring a few.”
