Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Crawley Town will be aiming to build on a 3-1 win over Harrogate when they face Hartlepool at the People’s Pension Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Red Devils do not want to give up on their playoffs dream, and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Hartlepool. January signing Aramide Oteh, who opened his goal-scoring account in the midweek triumph, should keep his place up front, alongside top scorer Tom Nichols.
The Pools, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Barrow, and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their seven-game winless run. Hartlepool, though, are not regarded as good travelers, and given their poor away record, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. Crawley defenders should have Luke Molyneux at bay as the 23-year-old scored a brace in the triumph over the Bluebirds.
Highlighted Player (Kwesi Appiah ):
Born in Thamesmead, England on August 12, 1990, Kwesi Appiah is a professional footballer who plays for AFC Wimbledon in the League One. Due to his dual citizenship, Appiah is eligible to play for Ghana and he made his debut with the Black Stars in a 2-1 win over South Africa on January 27, 2015.
The pacey forward scored his first goal for the national team in a 3-0 win over Guinea on February 1, 2015. Appiah started his club career at Ebbsfleet United, but the list of clubs he played for is pretty long.
Appiah wore Peterborough United, Weymouth, King’s Lynn, Kettering Town, Brackley Town, Thurrock, Margate, Crystal Palace, Aldershot Town, Yeovil Town, Cambridge United, Notts County, Reading and Viking shirts before signing a permanent deal with AFC Wimbledon in 2017. His main position is centre-forward, but he is capable of producing fine performances as both second striker and left winger as well.
