Notts County vs Hartlepool Match Preview

Notts County is ranked at 4th place with 23 points and comes after three wins a draw and a loss over the last five matches. While it seems that the first place this season is occupied by a dominating Torquay team, there are still at stake the next two spots that give a ticket for the playoff semi-finals and this is going to be an important game for them.

They have scored 19 goals in 13 matches so far and in the last five matches, they scored a total of five goals, averaging at least a goal per game. At home, they are one of the teams that have performed the best, winning five out of seven games having scored 14 goals, averaging two goals per game.

Hartlepool, on the other hand, is ranked at third spot with 24 points and comes pretty much in the same form after three wins and two losses over the last five games. After a bad period where they won only two out of ten matches across all competitions, they seem to have recovered giving a strong signal in the last two outings where they won 4-0 against Stockport and 3-1 against FC Halifax.

They have scored 22 goals in 15 matches until now and in the last five matches, they scored ten goals, averaging two goals per game. They managed to find the back of the net in four of these duels, except in the 3-0 loss against Woking.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Notts County is going to try for the promotion this season and they seem on the right path so far. They'll try a positive result here which would help them outrank Hartlepool. Playing at their home, they did not lose any of the last five games against them. Hartlepool has found some good momentum especially in attack and I expect that to continue here scoring at least once.
