There’s one remaining fixture in the midweek schedule in the National League and it’s a clash between Stockport County and Hartlepool United as the betting tips continue at Edgeley Park.
Stockport County Prediction – Can Stockport halt slump?
Stockport County have earned just 1 point out of the last 18 on offer thanks to a 0-0 draw away from home at Sutton United on the weekend, and they now return to Edgeley Park for this Wednesday night clash with Hartlepool United, looking to return to winning ways.
It’s now 6 league matches without a win for Stockport in the National League with 5 of these being defeats to Chorley, Aldershot, Boreham Wood, Solihull Moors and Torquay United, but although they’ve recently suffered back-to-back defeats on home turf, results at Edgeley Park still remains their best hope of gaining points.
With 4 of their total of 5 wins this season coming at home Stockport possess a record that stands at 4-0-3 10/10 which includes wins over Barrow, Eastleigh, Chesterfield and AFC Fylde, while midfielders Osborne and Thomas (3 goals apiece) look to be the hosts best chances of scoring here.
The hosts have reason to be fairly confident ahead of this encounter though as they’re unbeaten in their last 4 meetings at Edgeley Park against Hartlepool United.
Hartlepool United Prediction – Can Hartlepool maintain unbeaten run?
15th placed Hartlepool United registered their first win in 5 matches on Saturday when they recorded a 2-1 home win against high-flying Yeovil Town which extended their unbeaten run to 3 matches and one they’ll hope will give them confidence in getting a result at Stockport County on Wednesday night.
Two draws with Chesterfield and Eastleigh beforehand mean that Hartlepool are unbeaten in their last 3 matches, but prior to that, the Pools had drawn and lost twice so the flip-side to the ‘positive spin’ is that the visitors have claimed just 1 win out of their last 6 matches overall in the non-league top flight.
An away record of 3-2-2 6/7 includes just 1 defeat out of their last 6 matches though so Hartlepool have certainly recovered from their opening 2-0 defeat away from home at Halifax and have steadied the ship on their travels.
Goals have been few and far between though where Hartlepool are concerned, especially away from home and Wednesday night’s tussle with Stockport could be another low-scoring affair.
Key-Facts – Stockport v Hartlepool
- 4 of Stockport’s 5 league wins in the National League have come at home
- Hartlepool have lost just 1 of their last 6 away matches in the National League
- Stockport are unbeaten in their last 4 meetings at home against Hartlepool
Betting Tips Verdict
Stockport with home advantage need to turn things around and they could nick a 1-0 win here against Hartlepool.
