Draw
It seems an obvious choice for this Hartlepool vs Swindon prediction. Only two teams had more draw matches than Hartlepool who split their last five matches. It's quite a stunning turn of events for the home team whose chances of staying in the league are getting smaller with each passing game, or rather a draw instead of a win. They are four points away from safety, and the road is getting trickier as we go closer to the season's end. Swindon knows a thing or two about playing out to draw games, they had 12 this season. Swindon won their first match this term by the score of 2-1.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
If there is something consistent about Hartlepool this season is them drawing games, but also covering BTTS bets. Eight of their last ten matches ended with both teams scoring a goal including five straight games. Swindon had three of those matches from their past five outings which includes a stunning 4-4 draw against Rochdale. When we look at the h2h record for the Hartlepool vs Swindon duel, three out of their last five outings ended with both teams scoring at least once.

Team Information, Hartlepool vs Swindon Lineups and Preview
Hartlepool
There are only two teams that will be relegated from League Two this season and at the moment, Hartlepool is one of those clubs. They played 14 draw games this season which is a top-three mark in the league. They also lost 18 times and conceded 67 goals which make their defense the worst in League Two. Their matches are entertaining with plenty of goals being scored, but it's hardly the excitement that their fans crave when the team is losing so much. Rollin Menayese is injured and won't be available for selection.
Probable lineup: Stolarczyk, Pruti, Murray, Dodds, Ferguson, Cooke, Sylla, Kemp, Sterry, Jennings, Umerah.
Swindon
With a far superior record, Swindon has earned 19 points more than this weekend's opponent and is still hoping that there is a chance of them progressing toward the promotion playoffs. To keep that hope alive they will need to take three points from their away match against Hartlepool. Their leading scorers Jonathan Williams and Charlie Austin are expected to lead the team for the crunch match. Jacob Wakeling is, however, suspended.
Probable lineup: Brynn, Tomlinson, Blake-Tracey, Brewitt, Hutton, Williams, McEachran, Khan, Austin, Hepburn-Murphy, Adeloye.
Starting Lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
Player to Watch: Josh Umerah
The Hartlepool striker has been a model of consistency this season, Umerah accumulated 34 appearances and scored a team-high 11 goals while adding a single assist to his resume. He was involved in almost 30 percent of all the goals his team scored this season which is a noteworthy stat.
With that in mind, we feel that he could be a threat to Swindon in their upcoming duel and that's why he is our player to watch in this exciting League Two matchup.
