Following three consecutive league defeats, Hartlepool will look to keep their survival hopes alive when they take on Barrow on Saturday afternoon. The Pools face a must-win situation against the Bluebirds and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field. Both McDonald and Finney are pushing for recalls to the starting XI after the duo came off the bench in the last league match.
Barrow, meanwhile, missed out on a spot in the playoffs. Since the Bluebirds are low on confidence following back-to-back losses to Grimsby Town and Carlisle United, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. There should be a few changes to Barrow’s starting XI that faced the Cumbrians, with all Warren, Kay, and Garner pushing for a start. In their last meeting at Victoria Park Hartlepool emerged triumphant and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
