Hartlepool vs Barrow Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips 29/04/2023

Top Predictions and Best Odds for Hartlepool vs Barrow

Hartlepool is all but relegated after losing a key match last weekend, and they will try to salvage some hope against Barrow.

Both Teams to Score

At this point of the season, it's all about meeting the end of the line, especially for teams that have lost their footing and have nothing to play for in the remainder couple of games of the year. Hartlepool had only two BTTS games in their last five outings, but considering that they are all but relegated, it is going to be difficult for the team to be motivated while trying to defend against a good opposition. Barrow failed to get a BTTS game once in the same sample of matches, but a similar sentiment applies here like the one with the hosts for this Hartlepool vs Barrow prediction. The main reason for this pick, however, is their h2h record. The last four games between them ended with both teams scoring at least a goal.

Hartlepool to Win

There is no win prerogative for Barrow, but it does exist for Hartlepool even though a victory wouldn't mean much if Crawley Town gets away with a point in their next match. Hartlepool vs Barrow matchup is a curious one, in the past four encounters between these sides, every game had at least four goals scored and Hartlepool won only one of those matches. But, this time around they have something to play for, and Barrow does not, well at least when it comes to their final rankings.

Hartlepool vs Barrow Lineups, Preview, and Team News

Hartlepool

After losing to Crawley Town last week, Hartlepool fell six points behind their main rival against relegation with only two rounds of matches before the season ends. If Crawley manages to take just one point in their next match, the game is over for Hartlepool even if they defeat Barrow.

Possible lineup: Stolarczyk, Pruti, Dolan, Dodds, Ferguson, Cooke, Sylla, Kemp, Sterry, Jennings, Umerah.

Barrow

The visiting team is close to finishing the season in the top ten of the standings, but there will be little to no comfort after failing to reach the promotion playoffs stage. Barrow won only once in their last five games which cost them any relevant chance of making it into the top seven, or at least fighting it out until the very end.

Possible lineup: Farman, Canavan, Ray, McClelland, Brough, White, Gotts, Neal, Newby, Whitfield, Gordon.

Starting Lineups

Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.

Player to Watch: Josh Umerah

The 26-year-old London native has been the best performer for Hartlepool this season scoring 12 goals with a single assist on the record while playing in 39 matches. His goalscoring form will surely provide him with ample opportunities to continue his career in the Football League after Hartlepool goes down the league hierarchy this season.
