Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Gillingham and Crewe, Mansfield Town will look to move closer to automatic promotion berth when they face Hartlepool on Matchday 12. The Yellows showed character in their last league match, with Swan and Hawkins scoring late goals to help the team beat the Railwaymen on the road. Nigel Clough is doing a great job with Mansfield, who have been impressive at One Call Stadium this term.
Both Hiram Boateng and Anthony Hartigan have been struggling with injuries of late, speaking of the home team. The Pools, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table ahead of the trip to Mansfield. Since the rock-bottom side have yet to find the net in the new League Two campaign, home win should definitely be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.

Born in Nottingham, England, on July 2, 1991, Jordan Bowery is a professional footballer who plays for Mansfield Town. Bowery played for a number of English clubs, but we should mentioned the notable ones only.
