Woking vs Hartlepool Predictions

• Hartlepool have suffered one defeat in their last ten National League games
• Eight of Pools’ last ten league matches have featured fewer than three goals
• Under 2.5 goals was a winning bet in eight of Woking’s last 12 home league outings

Tight encounter looks to be on the cards

Most of the domestic football action will be focused on the National League this Bank Holiday Monday, and it is going to be a big ask to get players to go again just 48 hours after they last played.

Normally, it could mean that entertainment is in short supply and when you have two teams who have shown plenty of defensive resolve in their opening two matches, then goals may be in short supply.

That looks set to be the case at Kingfield where Woking will be looking to build on their 3-0 win at struggling Ebbsfleet with a victory over Hartlepool.

However, the visitors have conceded just one goal in their opening four games, so that won’t be easy.

Rivals could prove difficult to split

Under 2.5 goals for the clash looks the way to go as that has occurred in eight of Hartlepool’s last ten games, including each of their four this term.

They also needed a goal deep in injury-time to draw at home to Wealdstone on Saturday, so the team who have scored just three goals may not have much up front either.

Woking eased to their win in Kent but that was against a team who have already conceded 13 times in their opening four matches, so too much could be read into that single game.

It would not be a surprise if the teams proved too tough to separate, so a 1-1 draw may be on interest to those looking for a correct-score interest.
