General match analysis
Hartlepool United are slight favourites, primarily because of Tamworth’s struggles away from home: the visitors have lost 83% of their away matches and have yet to win one. At home, the hosts concede an average of 1 goal per match, while Tamworth have shipped as many as 3.5 goals per game on the road, giving Hartlepool a genuine chance to turn things around despite losing 4 of their last 5 matches. The visitors can still pose an attacking threat, however: they average 1.5 goals away from home compared with Hartlepool’s 1 goal per game at home, and have scored 7 goals in their last 5 matches, versus Hartlepool’s 4. The quality of chances created is similar, with Hartlepool’s home xG at 1.38 and Tamworth’s away xG at 1.32. The case for a home win is therefore based mainly on the visitors’ significantly weaker away defence, although their attacking threat means a draw or a Tamworth win remain possible.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Both teams have recorded goals for both sides in 100% of their matches in the season statistics provided, although their last 5 matches paint a different picture: Hartlepool reached 60%, while Tamworth remained at 100%. The hosts average 2.0 goals at home and generate an xG of 2.15, while the visitors concede as many as 3.5 goals per away match. Tamworth average 1.5 goals scored away from home, and Hartlepool have conceded an average of 2.2 goals in their last 5 matches, so the visitors also have a clear chance of scoring. A note of caution is warranted because Hartlepool's average goals scored fell to 0.8 over their last 5 matches, but Tamworth conceded 2.8 goals per match over the same period. Therefore, both teams to score is more likely than the scenario in which at least one team fails to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Hartlepool average 2.0 goals scored at home and generate an xG of 2.15, while Tamworth concede an average of 3.5 goals away from home. The visitors also have a chance to score: they average 1.5 goals, and Hartlepool have conceded an average of 2.2 goals over their last 5 matches. All previous meetings between the two teams have produced at least 3 goals, although Hartlepool have scored just 0.8 goals per match across their last 5 games, warranting caution with higher lines. Therefore, Over 1.5 goals is the strongest pick: it requires only two goals, with 3.85 goals projected in total.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
A draw at half-time is the most compelling starting point: in their matches so far, neither side has ever led at the break, while Hartlepool and Tamworth have drawn at half-time in 25% and 50% of their games, respectively. After the break, the advantage should shift to Hartlepool, who average 1.5 second-half goals at home, while Tamworth concede an average of 1.67 on the road in the second half. The case for a home win is also supported by Hartlepool’s home xG of 2.15, compared with Tamworth’s away xG of 1.32, and by Tamworth conceding an average of 3.5 goals away from home. However, X/1 is far from certain: Hartlepool have lost four of their last five matches, so scenarios in which the hosts lead at the break or come from behind in a turnaround also retain a significant share of the forecast.
