Top Predictions and Best Odds for Stockport County vs Hartlepool

Stockport County will be the overwhelming favorite in a match that could take them to League One.

Over 3.5 Goals

With one of the best attacking lines in the league, Stockport has all the tools to give Hartlepool a run for their money. For this Stockport County vs Hartlepool prediction, we are looking for a goal-scoring bonanza from these teams with the hosts having a chance of being promoted while the visiting team has been already relegated. Hartlepool has the second most number of over 3.5 goals matches this season at 15 while Stockport had only eight which is strange because their forward line has been top-notch the entire season. In their first match this season, Stockport won 5-0.

Half-Time Stockport County

A clear-cut bet for the home team's win lacks proper odds to give a good challenge for betting purposes, but looking at the halftime option for this Stockport County vs Hartlepool match looks decent enough from that perspective. In their last match, Stockport led 2-0 after the opening 45 minutes of play before scoring another three goals in the second half. Hartlepool will have a hard time defending against one of the best-attacking lines in the league.

Team Information, Stockport County vs Hartlepool Lineups, and Preview

Stockport County

Nobody can say that Stockport players didn't do what is necessary to put themselves in a position to challenge for direct promotion to League One. They are unbeaten in their last 12 matches and they need only one win with a little bit of luck to put them ahead of the main challengers for promotion, Northampton.

Provisional lineup: Hinchliffe, Wright, Horsfall, Lewis, Knoyle, Camps, Croasdale, Hippolyte, Hussey, Stretton, Olaofe.

Hartlepool

Provisional lineup: Stolarczyk, Pruti, Dolan, Dodds, Ferguson, Cooke, Crawford, Featherstone, Sterry, Jennings, Hamilton.

Player to Watch: Kyle Wootton
