Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Hartlepool and Swindon go head to head at Victoria Park in what is expected to be a close League Two contest. The Pools have subscribed to draws, with the team sharing the spoils with each of their previous five opponents, and, no doubt, they need to return to winning ways as soon as possible if they are to avoid relegation. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Connor Jennings, who has been in a fine form of late.
The Robins, on the other hand, aim to keep their playoffs hopes alive, but seeing that the relegation-threatened hosts want this win more than the visitors, we are tempted to put our money on Jody Morris’ charges. To make things even worse for the visiting team, talented forward Jacob Wakeling misses out through suspension following his sending-off in the last league game.
Highlighted Player (Jonny Williams):
Jonathan Williams is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for the Wales National Team and Charlton Athletic. Born on the 9th of October 1993, the Turnbridge local joined Crystal Palace's youth academy in 2002 and after impressive displays with the reserve team, signed a professional contract with the club in 2011.
He made his first professional appearance for the Eagles on the 16th of August, coming on a substitute in a game against Coventry City. Williams then scored his maiden professional goal a month later in a League Cup game against Wigan Athletic. In total, the dynamic midfielder spent eight years at Palace, making 70 appearances in all competitions for the club. He also had loan spells at Ipswich, Nottingham Forest, Milton Keynes Dons, and Sunderland during that time. On the 4th of January, 2019, the 26-year old joined current club Charlton on an initial six-month deal before rejoining them for the 18/19 season.
Internationally, Williams has capped for Wales under-17, under-18, and under-19 teams before progressing to Wales's senior squad on the 3rd of October, 2011. He made his international debut on the 22nd of March, 2013, as a second-half substitute against Scotland.
