Hartlepool vs Solihull Moors Prediction
Pools' Home Woes Continue Against Moors
Preview
Right then, let's fire up the braai and get stuck into this one! Hartlepool might be sitting higher in the table, but their home form has been more disappointing than a veggie burger at a proper BBQ. The Pools have managed exactly ZERO wins in their last two home games, scoring a pathetic 0.5 goals per game at home. That's not just bad, that's shocking!
Looking at their recent results, Hartlepool have managed just 2 wins in their last 10 games, with that 3-3 draw against bottom-of-the-table Sutton Utd being their only point in the last three matches. They've been leaking goals too - 14 conceded in their last 10 games.
Now Solihull Moors might be lower down the table, but they've been showing more grit recently. Four wins in their last 10 games gives them 1.50 points per game compared to Hartlepool's measly 1.00. They've kept clean sheets in half their recent games too, which is double what Hartlepool have managed.
The head-to-head is tight as a drum - 3 wins each and 3 draws in 9 meetings. But when you look at current form, there's only one team that looks like they know how to win. Solihull's away form isn't spectacular, but it's still better than Hartlepool's home disaster show.
With Hartlepool struggling to find the net at home and Solihull looking more solid defensively, I'm backing the visitors to grab all three points here. Sometimes you gotta go against the league table and follow the form!
