Tuesday evening, at 19:45, Salford City receives Hartlepool’s visit to the Nation League, England’s fifth echelon. Both bands are fighting for promotion and have a good balance lately. There are two competitive clubs that should offer a good football speculation.
What draws our attention is that the market exchange bets hard on a match with goals on both sides. Since both teams have the quality required to play, we can witness a spectacular duel where draw is not an option. Salford has won the last four consecutive stages, and Hartlepool scored at least one goal in nine of its last 10 championship games. It is remarkable that Hartlepool has 5 wins in the last 6 away games, where it has a much better balance on the terrain than at home!
In the National League standings, Salford (who has consistent financial support) ranks fourth, with a 7-3-2 and 20-11 goalscorer. So, black and white marks an average of 1.7 goals per game. Hartlepool is on track, 5th, with one failure and six active wins (Golavearj 15-10). There were only two previous duels in the history of the two bands, both finishing in the English Cup (1-1 and 0-0).
Salford showed good football in the last two matches played on his own home, when he accurately defended and closed the game when he was in the advantage. It was 3-1 with Boreham Wood and 1-0 with Maidstone, but these are Hartlepool’s lower bands. If guests come to play, they will certainly have the opportunity to score in a difficult trip.
PREDICTION: Salford to win @ 1.75
