Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Northampton
Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 3-1
Hartlepool
After suffering a 2-1 loss to Wycombe in their EFL Cup opener, Northampton Town will look to return to winning ways when they take on Hartlepool on Matchday 3. The Cobblers are eyeing their second home win of the season, and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Hartlepool. Both Odimayo and McGowan are out of contention with injuries, but they should be the only absentees in the home team.
The Pools, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems in the EFL Cup defeat to Blackburn Rovers (0-4), and seeing that Northampton have turned their Sixfields Stadium into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. The likes of Grey and Ndjoli should miss out through injuries for the away side.
