Hartlepool United form and stats

There's been little loot from Hartlepool United's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 6 away games in the League Two. Hartlepool United only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Hartlepool have lost on their last two travels.

There might be some fixture complaints from Hartlepool United as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the League Two match against Salford City (0-2). Defender Timi Odusina was the best team player with a rating of 7.12. Odusina won 10 of 18 duels.

That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Northampton Town.

A quick return to home after this game, as Hartlepool United are hosting Harrogate Town in the League Two only four days away.

Goals are few and far between in Hartlepool's away league games. Only 2 goals from 6 travels. Hartlepool's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 9 goals from these trips.
