Hartlepool United

LWWWLD

Hartlepool United head into this game following a 0-0 National League stalemate versus Scunthorpe United.

A recurring feature of recent Hartlepool United games is the number of results with a nil in them.

From their prior sextet of matches leading up to this one, in 5 of them a bet on BTTS would have been a losing one. With no two games being the same, time will tell whether that pattern will persist here in this game or not.

Rochdale

WLWDWL

Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against Morecambe in National League action, Rochdale will be aiming to make amends here.

For Rochdale, the goals were scored by Aidan Barlow (19') and Ian Henderson (78'). Lewis Payne (32', 66'), Jack Nolan (72') and Ben Tollitt (90') scored for Morecambe.

In their previous six clashes, Rochdale have helped themselves to the sum of 14 goals. Rochdale have also managed to score in every single one of those games. Over that period, they’ve seen 13 goals scored by their opponents.

Looking at their past form shows that Rochdale:

• have not been beaten by Hartlepool United when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league matches.
• have not been beaten in their last 2 away league matches.

⚡ Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Hartlepool United will have to work hard as a team to be putting a goal past this Rochdale lineup who will likely score one, at least.

We therefore see a good tussle with a 0-1 winning score for Rochdale when all is said and done.

Looking forward to watching this one unfold.
