Hartlepool vs Chesterfield Predictions

Hartlepool failed to win in their opening four games of the season but only lost one. They’ve now tasted victory in back to back games thanks to a 2-1 away win over Dagenham & Redbridge on Saturday.

Chesterfield have had a contrasting start to the season. After winning the first three games of the season and they’ve gone on to lose the last three games conceding seven goals in the process. They’ve been on the wrong end of late goals against Barnet and Salford City in back to back weeks and must be wondering what they’ve done to upset the footballing Gods. They also have a couple of injury/suspension concerns with Jerome Binnom-Williams missing this match due to completing his three match suspension and midfielder Charlie Carter remains out with an ankle injury. Carter has enjoyed a bright start to the season and is the joint second top goalscorer for The Spireites.

Although Hartlepool haven’t been getting results at home this season so far they’ve been putting in good performances. They’ve outscored their opponents on expected goals in every home game this season and have averaged 1.86xG in all games. With this is mind, Chesterfield’s poor form of three successive defeats and absent players the 7/4 about a Hartlepool win is looking very appealing. If you’re looking for a safer bet then draw no bet is currently 10/11.

Hartlepool have seen both teams to score in 5 of their 6 games this season and haven’t kept a clean sheet. Chesterfield have scord in 5/6 games this season so a correct score prediction of 2-1 Hartlepool is advised.
