Hartlepool will be disappointed with how their season has gone so far and they know that three points on Tuesday night will go a long way to preventing them being dragged into another relegation struggle this season. One thing which has been a near certainty for Hartlepool fans this season is goals at both ends of the field, both teams have scored in 82% of their matches this season.

Accrington travel to the North East on the back of three straight defeats and after going so close to promotion last term they know that they will have to turn their form around quickly if they are going to go closer this time out. Stanley have failed to score in the last two and have only scored once in their previous four league games so they know that they will have to address this area if they are going to turn their form around.

Despite this lack of form in front of goal Accrington will be confident of finding the back of the net as they are facing the second worst defence in the division. Hartlepool have conceded 30 goals in their 17 games so far this season.
