Wycombe Wanderers vs Hartlepool Predictions

• Wycombe won each of the last six home H2Hs while conceding just twice.
• Both teams scored in seven of the last eight games here at Adams Park.
• Hartlepool lost five of their last seven away games.

Hapless Hartlepool to struggle in Buckinghamshire

Wycombe Wanderers showed that they have real fighting spirit in the reverse, coming back from behind twice to earn this replay. Consequently, I think that the fact that they are in a title race in the league above Hartlepool gives the Chairboys a real sense of confidence here. While progressing in the FA Cup isn’t really their priority this year, the extra revenue would not go amiss for the hosts. Furthermore, this appears to be a perfect opportunity for a confidence boosting win following a five-game winless run for the hosts.

Following the shocking departure of Hartlepool manager Dave Challinor for his former club Stockport County, the North East outfit won just one of their three games. However, they remain in the top half of League Two and I am backing them to at least score here in the correct score prediction. Notably though, backing any correct score comes with risks attached, especially as Hartlepool failed to score in six of their last seven away games. As such, back Wycombe to edge this one out given the combination of a gulf in class and home advantage.
