Hartlepool vs Rochdale – Predictions, Odds, & Best Betting Tips

Hartlepool suffered a crucial 2-0 loss against relegation rivals, Gillingham, in the last league match. This prediction has also witnessed Rochdale suffering a first defeat in four league outings following the 2-1 defeat against their relegation rival Colchester United.

Draw

This is a game which Hartlepool and Rochdale cannot afford to lose. There have been three defeats in the last four league outings for Hartlepool. It will be quite difficult for Keith Curle to improve on the recent results without improving the performances. These two teams are separated by just one point with Rochdale’s form once again slipping into the red following the loss to Colchester. Hartlepool picked up a victory over Rochdale in the last meeting between these two teams on Boxing Day, but the visitors will be more cautious about suffering a double at the hands of the supplement.

Total goals over 2.5

The matches between Rochdale and Hartlepool have produced plenty of excitement over the years. This prediction has witnessed over 2.5 goals in six consecutive games between these two opponents, who have been defensively all over the place so far this season. Hartlepool have especially been poor with 47 goals conceded already.

Both teams to score – yes

This is a game between two teams who have conceded over 35 goals each so far this season. There is a lot riding at stake in this game and there have been goals at both ends whenever these two teams have met each other in the last four occasions.

Hartlepool vs Rochdale: Battle of the Relegation Contenders

Hartlepool

Hartlepool have been unable to shake off a poor form which has persisted for the last few weeks. After the last weekend’s results, Hartlepool are now just two points above the bottom of the table. Keith Curle is likely to target a victory in the upcoming match before Hartlepool go up against a string of difficult opponents like Doncaster and Carlisle in the upcoming weeks.

Rochdale

Rochdale seemed to be in a very promising position after a string of three consecutive games without a defeat. The recent defeat to Colchester coupled with a victory for Gillingham has put Rochdale in a spot of bother. Manager Jim Bentley, though, has a fully fit squad coming into the game, as he looks to improve his record of one win in 12 games against Keith Curle.
