Hartlepool United vs Exeter City Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

With both sides showing plenty of inconsistencies we are staying away from the result for our tip and instead concentrating on the goal market. We are tipping there to be over 2.5 goals, which is available at 19/20 with bet365. For our correct score tip we think that Exeter will be able to take all three points on the long trip back down south with them after a 2-1 win, which is priced at 15/2 with the same site.

It’s been a rocky road for new Hartlepool boss Dave Jones since he came to the club but he was finally able to get his first win as manager on Tuesday night, after a big 4-0 win over Crewe. Goals are something that have been quite common in Pools matches of late and their last eight games has seen a total of 25 goals scored, which averages at over three goals per game.

Like their hosts, Exeter also seem to be involved in plenty of high scoring games and over the same period of the last eight games there has been 27 goals scored, which again averages at over three goals per game.

The chances of plenty of goals is further improved with the fact that Hartlepool have the worst defensive record in the division. They have conceded 58 goals in their 34 games and with the visitors scoring an impressive 55 goals so far this season we could be in for another high scoring affair.
