Prediction: 2-1
Newport County
Hartlepool will look to escape the danger zone when they take on Newport County in a postponed League Two game. The Pools are on a three-game winless run, but they showed character in a 2-2 draw with AFC Wimbledon at the weekend. A man to watch in the home team will be Daniel Kemp, who scored a brace against the Dons, while Jamie Sterry has yet to serve his ban. Rollin Menayese is sidelined with a long-term ankle problem.
The Exiles, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous four league fixtures. Graham Coughlan has a full squad to choose from, except from Adam Lewis, who has been struggling with injury of late. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Hartlepool want this win more than Newport. In their last meeting in the League Two the Pools defeated the Exiles 3-2.
