Match Preview

Following a fantastic come back win last weekend after conceding 2 goals against an unbeaten Nomads side, Sutton travel to Harborough Town in the hope of extending their unbeaten 8 game run.

Harborough Town football club are based in Market Harborough, Leicestershire and play at Bowden Park. They were formed in 1975 and are nicknamed The Bees. Harborough Town play in a yellow and black kit at home and a red one away from home. In 2021/22 season they were Premier Division South champions which gave them promotion to the Northern Premier league.

Harborough Town are in 1st spot with 34 points and look good to maintain this, or at least finish in the playoffs. Their home form has been excellent and one of the reasons behind their lofty position.

Sutton are mid table and are in 10th position on 21 points, and look like a side that can really challenge for the playoffs.

Harborough have had some big results of late, beating Coventry Sphinx 6-1 and Gresley Rovers 6-0.

Paul Malone looks to be the danger man, scoring 7 goals in the league so far.

Last time we met each other was back in April, where The Royals came away with nothing having lost the game 2-1. They also lost at Coles Lane 3-2, so Harborough are not a team The Royals have experienced many positives from.

Sutton are a more experienced side now, and should be more aware of what to expect against this physical and enterprising team.

Let’s hope The Lads can come back from Leicestershire with some points in the bag, and a good performance to go with it.
