Prediction: 2-2
Leyton Orient
Following four consecutive draws, Hartlepool will look to return to winning ways in League Two when they host Leyton to their Victoria Park on Saturday. The Pools have a chance to escape the relegation zone, and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field. Barring any fresh injury worries, manager John Askey is unlikely to make changes to the team that shared the spoils with Bradford City at the weekend. The O’s, on the other hand, are leading the chase for automatic promotion.
The league leaders are on the right track to secure a top-three finish, but they can’t afford any complacency in the remainder of the season. Since the visitors will go for a win as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Richie Wellens should stick to the 4-3-3 formation, with Smyth, Drinan, and Sotiriou up front.
