After four games we know a little more about the qualities of Hartlepool United and Altrincham in this fresh National League season. Read our match preview!
It's no vacation for neither Hartlepool nor Altrincham as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Hartlepool United form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Hartlepool United's two home games in the National League so far this season, having collected 4 points.
Hartlepool are confident in defense, having played 216 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
A strong away win for Hartlepool United against Ilkeston Town the last match, as J. Grey, T. Crawford, L. Molyneux, M. Enigbokan-Bloomfield, D. Parkhouse and G. Holohan were on target. In the match before that, Hartlepool hosted Bromley and drew the National League game 0-0.
As mentioned above, Hartlepool "killed" Ilkeston Town in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the National League game versus Torquay United in only four days. This game is also played here.
Hartlepool United has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Altrincham form and stats
Still no away game victory in the National League for Altrincham with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.
Altrincham are travelling again after losing away to Fylde in their previous match (1-2). A 1-1 draw at Eastleigh's stadium before that.
Altrincham has another fixture away, a National League game, against Dover Athletic in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
It's early days yet, but Altrincham has scored 2 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
