**Lightning round rematch — these two just drew 1-1, now it's FA Cup stakes.** Both sides are absolutely purring with form (4W-1D each), so expect intensity and zero passengers. 🔥
Harrogate showed serious teeth on the road last time out; Bury matching that energy at home with a 5-1 demolition of Workington two weeks back. The draw was tight, so this could easily go either way again.
Key storylines:
- **M. Oxley** (Harrogate) faces **D. Pedro** and **T. Carr** (Bury), who've been clinical in front of goal this month
- **B. Hobson** and **C. McGuckin** form Harrogate's creative engine and will need to unlock **M. Allen's** back line early
- **O. Robinson** and **L. Graham** (Bury) control the midfield battle — if they dominate, Harrogate's attack loses rhythm
Expected lineups:
- **Harrogate Town**: M. Oxley, E. Bristow, A. Baptiste, W. Burrell, L. Cass, M. Williams, W. McGowan, B. Hobson
- **Bury FC**: M. Allen, B. Sloane, G. Glendon, J. Neild, C. Pye, O. Threlkeld, O. Robinson, L. Graham
Prediction:
**Harrogate Town 1–1 Bury FC** — both teams too evenly matched and too hot to separate. Extra time coin flip. ⚽
