Hartlepool United vs Plymouth Argyle Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

We are backing Plymouth to bounce back from their disappointing midweek result with all three points when they travel to Hartlepool at the weekend and this is available at 19/20 with bet365. For our correct score tip we are backing the hosts to make it a difficult game but we think they will ultimately come up short and suffer a 2-1 defeat, which is priced at 15/2 with the same site.

Life at Victoria Park hasn’t started well for new Hartlepool boss and even though he had the job when Pool last got a win, he watched that game from the stands. Hartlepool have just five points from their previous eight league games and with the second worst defence in the division they look set to be involved in the relegation dog fight for the remainder of the season. Their hopes of a positive result at the weekend is further dampened when you consider they are yet to beat any of the current top five, although they have only hosted one of them so far and they managed a point on that day.

It’s been a long season so far for Plymouth and after they failed to go level at the top of the table following late defeat to Leyton Orient on Tuesday night, they will have plenty to prove this weekend. The Pilgrims have been known to be a bit complacent on their travels and two of their four away defeats have come to sides in the bottom eight. Despite this, Argyle still have the second best away record in League Two and with the division’s top spot in touching distance they should have plenty to play for when they make the long trip to the north-east.
