Hartlepool vs Mansfield Town Predictions

• Hartlepool have lost once at home in the league in 2022
• All of Mansfield’s away league wins this season have come against sides positioned 12^th or lower
• This is Mansfield’s fifth away game in the last 18 days

Hartlepool strong on home soil

Hartlepool have been rock-solid at home all season. Graeme Lee’s men have lost just three times in the league at Victoria Park, two of these defeats came against sides who currently occupy spots in League Two’s top five. Hartlepool enjoyed great runs in both the EFL Trophy and the FA Cup this season, taking out sides from higher divisions on multiple occasions. With little to play for in the league for the remainder of the season, Tuesday’s game is somewhat of a free hit for the Monkey Hangers.

Visitors face fatigue battle

Rearrangement’s due to cup commitments and Covid related postponements mean Tuesday’s game will be Mansfield’s fifth away game on the spin, all of which have taken place in the last 18 days. There is every chance that fatigue will kick in among the Mansfield players on Tuesday.  Mansfield have struggled on the road this season, of their six away wins this campaign they have only managed to beat one side that currently occupy a spot in the division’s top half – this win came against Crawley who now sit in 12^th. Hartlepool are currently outside the top half on goal difference and the visitors may struggled to breakdown a side who have been so strong at home this season.

The main selection for this game will be Hartlepool in the Draw No bet market. Hartlepool have lost once at home in the league in 2022 and they welcome a Mansfield side who have had their fair share of issues on the road this season. For the correct score prediction for this game, I suggest chancing a 1-0 home victory.
