Ebbsfleet United vs Hartlepool Predictions

Ebbsfleet lost 3-2 in the FA Cup at home to Notts County last time out but are unbeaten in their last three National League games and will be looking for a result to take them closer to safety this weekend. Hartlepool sit ten points clear of their hosts and hammered Yeovil Town 4-1 away in the FA Cup on Tuesday, so head into Saturday’s game full of confidence.

All of the stats suggest that a double chance bet on the visitors is the best way to go this weekend and we’ve backed the two clubs to play out a 1-1 draw.

Hartlepool drew 0-0 on their last trip to Ebbsfleet back in February and have only lost one of their last five away games, while Ebbsfleet haven’t won any of their last five home games, so you can see why we’ve backed the visitors with a double chance bet this weekend.

The performances of both teams during the last month or so provide a reason to expect goals at both ends of the pitch this Saturday, as both teams scored in four of Ebbsfleet’s last six matches as well as in two of Hartlepool’s last three games. Ebbsfleet haven’t kept a clean sheet at home in their last five attempts and Hartlepool have scored in each of their last eight away games, so while we are backing a draw there is a chance Hartlepool could win the game which is why the double chance bet makes the most sense.

Both teams have only lost one of their last six matches but Ebbsfleet have only won once at home this season, while Hartlepool have won four and drawn three away games this season, adding further weight to our prediction of a double chance bet in favour of the visitors this Saturday.

We’re confident that a double chance bet on Hartlepool will payout this weekend and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. The visitors arrive ass the form favourites and will be confident they can add to their points tally for the season against an Ebbsfleet side that have only won once at home in the National League so far. The last three games between these two teams have produced under 2.5 goals in total, which is why we’re not expecting a goal-fest of any sort between the pair this weekend.
