In the league table Halifax sit 18th on 3 points (1W 0D 3L) with Hartlepool 11th on 6 points (2W 0D 2L).

Halifax read L-W-L-L-L-D across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (1W 1D 4L) — poor.

Hartlepool read L-L-W-W-W-L across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (3W 0D 3L) — patchy.

Head to head the record reads 1-1-2 — Halifax wins, draws, then Hartlepool wins. Their last meeting finished Hartlepool - Halifax: 0-1.

The read: With barely anything between them on price, this is one to leave alone in the 1X2 market and attack in the goals or handicap markets instead.
