Hartlepool United Prediction – Can Hartlepool turn things around?
With just 1 league win from their last 5 matches overall in the National League, Tuesday night’s hosts, Hartlepool United, find themselves in the bottom half of the non-league top flight and a disappointing 17th place as they prepare for this upcoming clash against Eastleigh.
Hartlepool have suffered something of a slump in form as The Pools had lost just 1 of their previous 7 matches in the National League, but have subsequently just picked up a 1-0 home win over Dagenham & Redbridge since while also losing to Woking and home and away losses to Harrogate Town.
An overall home record of 4-5-5 20/21 includes just 1 win out of their last 5 matches on home turf too, so backing the hosts for the win here may be risky at best; instead, the goals markets look appealing here.
9 of Hartlepool’s 14 home matches have seen both teams score and the hosts possess dangerous forwards such as Toure (11 goals) and Kabamba (5 goals).
Eastleigh Prediction – Can Eastleigh bounce back?
A 3-1 defeat away from home at Aldershot prevented Eastleigh from making a winning start to the New Year as they lost to their southern counterparts, and they now face a tricky and long trip up to the north-east to take on Hartlepool United.
Eastleigh sit just two league positions and 1 point above their hosts ahead of this bottom half clash in the National League, and the visitors have also managed to register just1 win out of their last 5 matches overall in the non-league top flight.
That win came in the shape of an impressive 3-2 win away from home at 4th placed Bromley but defeats to Wrexham and Aldershot have prevented the south coast side from lifting themselves up into the top half of the division.
Eastleigh’s away record reads 4-4-6 18/25 and includes just 1 win out of their last 6 matches on their travels which is a similar situation to that of Hartlepool’s recent form at home – therefore, backing Eastleigh for the win here would also be highly risky, but 11 of Eastleigh’s 14 away matches have also seen both teams score.
