Hartlepool vs Grimsby Predictions

It’s a fixture that has a history of goals so for our tip we are backing there to be over 2.5 goals when Hartlepool host Grimsby in League Two this weekend. This is available at 21/20 with bet365. For our correct score tip we think the visitors will build on an impressive victory over title hopefuls Carlisle and win the match 2-1, which is priced at 17/2 with the same site.

Hartlepool are in the midst of a difficult run and although they have managed to claim four points in their last two games, scratch a little below the surface and you can see all is not well at Victoria Park. Craig Hignett’s men managed to hold onto a point against Accrington and claim all three against Morecambe, but both of those sides have been woefully out of form of late and Pool hardly impressed in getting those results.

One thing that has happened in those games however is goals. After a period of low scoring games Hartlepool have suddenly come to light and their previous two fixtures have seen nine goals scored. The bad news for Hignett is that not all goals have gone in his favour and his side has the second worst defensive record in the division.

Grimsby have had a difficult time adjusting to life under new boss Marcus Bignot but after an impressive three points at the weekend it looks as though the penny may have finally of dropped for the Mariners. That result followed a hard earned point against Blackpool and a comfortable win over out of form Accrington.

Then there’s the head to head record. The last 10 meetings have been spaced out over a period of 27 years but although they have been few and far between they do usually result in goals. Those same 10 meetings average 3.7 goals per game and even without a crazy 8-1 scoreline from back in 2003 it still averages at over three goals per game.
