Hartlepool vs Stevenage Best Predictions and Top Odds

Hartlepool's improved form has suddenly given the team a real chance of staving off relegation.

Draw

There is a big contrast between these teams as we are reaching the final stage of the season. Hartlepool is one of two clubs in the relegation zone while Stevenage is on the brink of breaking into the top three of the standings which would give them a direct promotion spot to League One. However, for this particular Hartlepool vs Stevenage prediction, it is important to look at all the aspects. Hartlepool is unbeaten in their last seven matches, but they had only two wins in that period, and to make it more interesting, those victories were earned in their last two games. Stevenage, on the other side of things, hasn't won in their last four matches which put their promotion ambitions in jeopardy. Stevenage won their first game of the season with a single goal as the difference.

Under 2.5 Goals

We are staying with these teams' h2h record for the second prediction of this Hartlepool vs Stevenage tie. The last four games between them ended with fewer than three goals scored, and the last game they played had only one goal. The counterargument for this pick is the fact that Hartlepool is the best ‘over' team in the league with 23 of those matches played. The average of goals scored during those matches is 2.9 per game. Stevenage had only 16 over 2.5 goal matches this season, but they had four ‘under' games out of their last five outings which is relevant for this prediction.

Team News, Preview, and Hartlepool vs Stevenage Lineups

Hartlepool

There is hope for Hartlepool to avoid dropping out of League Two, but they will need to keep their undefeated run going for as long as they possibly can, even though there are more tough opponents ahead. After getting two wins in a row, the team is below the relegation line only on goal difference. Hartlepool main problem is their defense which is the worst in the league, but somehow their attack started to gain ground which brought the club some more confidence.

Predicted lineup: Stolarczyk, Sterry, Dodds, Murray, Pruti, Ferguson, Kemp, Featherstone, Cooke, Umerah, Jennings.

Stevenage

The Stevenage fans were excited about their team's chance of being promoted, but those hopes are not all that high at the moment even though the club is still very much in play to earn that honor. But, going winless in their last four games, especially in the most important part of the year, hasn't been all too positive for the team.

Predicted lineup: Lo-Tutala, Clark, Piergianni, Vancooten, Sweeney, Wildin, Gilbey, Forster-Caskey, Roberts, Reid, Rose.

Starting Lineups

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

Player to Watch: Daniel Kemp

There are not many players on Hartlepool's roster who can score goals, Josh Umerah is their best striker with 12 goals, but for this occasion, we are taking note of Daniel Kemp. After scoring a hat-trick on Friday in a 4-1 win at Grimsby, he has reached the number of nine goals for the season with a single assist on the record. The most impressive thing about his stat is that he got those numbers after only playing 12 games for Hartlepool. He arrived on loan from MK Dons on the final day of the January transfer window and gave his new team a huge boost in their bid for League Two survival.
