Newport vs Hartlepool Lineups, Team News, and Preview

Newport

The home team is still well outside the perimeter of clubs that are in the middle of a fight to stay in League Two, but that situation could suddenly change if the hosts don't get their affairs in order. The overall injury report for Newport is positive, so coach Graham Coughlan will have his best players available.

Provisional lineup: Day, Baker, Drysdale, Demetriou, Norman, Bennett, Wilding, Lewis, Kavanagh, Bogle, McNeill.

Hartlepool

The guest team deserves a lot of praise for the way they have handled their business for the last couple of months. They lost only once in their period after playing ten games, but they also only won a couple of times with as many as seven draw games played during that period. Those points meant a lot to the team whose chances of staying in League Two have gone upside. On the other side of things, it is questionable if that kind of form, or rather, a tactical approach will be good enough to see them keep their place in League Two.

Provisional lineup: Stolarczyk, Ferguson, Pruti, Murray, Foran, Dodds, Kemp, Featherstone, Cooke, Jennings, Umerah.

Starting Lineups

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

Player to Watch: Omar Bogle

The 29-year-old Birmingham native is Newport's top goalscorer this season with 11 goals in 40 matches played. He also has a single assist on the record. Bogle is the focal point of his team's attacking ambitions and will be looking to add some more goals before the season shuts its doors in a few week's time.
