Hartlepool vs Scunthorpe – Free Betting Tips & Predictions

Two of League Two’s relegation candidates meet on Saturday when Hartlepool host Scunthorpe. Read our top three predictions for this weekend’s fixture below.

Hartlepool to Win

Hartlepool snapped a five-match losing streak in League Two with a 2-1 victory over Rochdale in midweek – a result that provided their third win on the spin in all competitions. With confidence restored, Pools are our tip to beat bottom club Scunthorpe at Victoria Park on Saturday. The relegation contenders have won only once in their last 16 attempts in the fourth tier and they could struggle to match their host’s new-found momentum.

Both Teams to Score

Wins have been scarce of Scunthorpe, though the Iron have been far more reliable in another betting market. Both teams to score has been a winning bet in each of their last eight League Two tussles and their knack for impacting the scoresheet could allow them to notch a consolation effort against Hartlepool this weekend. With that considered, we recommend backing both teams to register again.

Over 1.5 Hartlepool Goals

Scunthorpe have conceded more goals on the road than any other team in League Two this term, shipping a whopping 21 times in ten away fixtures overall since the start of the campaign. With an average of over two goals conceded per 90 minutes, the Iron have distinct defensive vulnerabilities and bettors can take advantage of their plight by pursuing Hartlepool in the over 1.5 team goals market.

Hartlepool Team News

Tyler Burey remains sidelined for Hartlepool, though Luke Molyneux and Mark Cullen – who were doubtful before kickoff – both played in Pools' 2-1 win over Rochdale in midweek and should keep their place in the XI this weekend. Hartlepool have the second-best home record in League Two this term behind Northampton.

Scunthorpe Team News

Harry Davis, Alex Kenyon and Tom Billson could be absent for Scunthorpe again this weekend, though first choice keeper Rory Watson, defender Mason O'Malley and Ryan Loft were fit enough to feature against Stevenage in midweek and all three players are in contention to start at Victoria Park against Hartlepool on Saturday.
