Prediction: 3-1
Hartlepool
Swindon and Hartlepool go head to head at County Ground in the League Two round 18. The Robins have been in a fine form of late, with the team beating both Oldham and Newport, and, no doubt, they are eager to climb to automatic promotion places. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Jack Payne, who scored his sixth goal of the season at Newport.
The Pools, on the other hand, suffered yet another dip in form, with the team losing each of their previous three league fixtures. Hartlepool are low on spirits ahead of the trip to Swindon, and given their shaky defence, we predict that the Robins are going to pick up all three points from the match. To make things even worse for the visiting team, defender Jamie Sterry is banned for the game.
