Hartlepool United

WWLWWL

Hartlepool United will be looking for an improved result here following the 2-1 National League loss in their previous game against Eastleigh.

The only player to score from Hartlepool United was Joe Grey (91'). Ben House (1') and Tyrone Barnett (27') scored for Eastleigh.

Their more recent scorelines shine a light on the fact that there has been much resilience in the Hartlepool United rearguard. The Pool have been miserly, with the tally of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their previous 6 outings standing at 4. Let’s find out whether or not that trend can be continued on in this game.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Hartlepool United:

• are unbeaten in the league by Yeovil Town in their last 8 games. A long run without a loss.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 6 league matches at home.
