Prediction: 2-0
Leyton Orient
Hartlepool and Leyton Orient go head to head at Victoria Park in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. Hartlepool quickly bounced back from a 3-1 loss to Walsall, with the team beating Harrogate 2-1 at the weekend. The Pools do not want to give up on their playoffs dream, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the O’s. You should bear in mind that Hartlepool are eyeing their 10th home win of the process.
Leyton, on the other hand, are on a seven-game winless run in the English fourth tier. The O’s have been struggling at the back of late, and seeing that this has to go down as a must-win game for the hosts, we predict that the visiting side will return to London empty-handed. In the first half of the season Leyton crushed Hartlepool 5-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
