Saturday 10th October 2015 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – England – League Two Betting Tips
Northampton Town will be looking to resume their improved form in League Two this afternoon at Sixfields Stadium when they take on Hartlepool United following their midweek Football Trophy loss to League One outfit Millwall.
Northampton boss Chris Wilder called for the League Trophy competition to be disbanded after his team lost, we’ll see if he is of the same opinion of League Two if his Cobblers side lose this afternoon!
However, Northampton have put together a five-match unbeaten streak with recent wins over Oxford United, Morecambe and Wycombe Wanderers along with draws against Leyton Orient and AFC Wimbledon, while their overall home record now stands at 2-1-2 6/5.
Visitors Hartlepool United were dealt a heavy 4-1 defeat by Luton Town last Saturday which has left The Pools in 18th place in League Two and have actually lost six of their last eight matches overall.
Only a 0-0 draw at home with Cambridge United and a 2-1 win away at Yeovil Town have provided Hartlepool fans with any sort of encouragement, while their away form has been up and down so far this season.
Hartlepool’s overall away record stands at 2-0-3 5/7 with wins against York City and Yeovil Town bookmarks between defeats at Stevenage, Wycombe Wanderers and Exeter City. It’s also worth noting that Hartlepool have won just twice in their last nine matches on the road in League Two.
I’m leaning towards a Northampton Town win then here today as they look the stronger of these two teams by some distance. Could be a 2-1 win for The Cobblers.
Pick: Northampton Town straight win @ 1.80 Bet Victor
