Hartlepool dominate historical head-to-head (7 wins, 1 draw).

Hartlepool vs Boston United

Hartlepool will put their unbeaten record on the line when they welcome Boston United to Victoria Park for a midweek English National League clash.

The hosts are looking sharp at the moment and have done their best work on home soil. They should have the upper hand over the visitors, who have been unconvincing so far.

Hartlepool News

It has been a solid start to the season for Hartlepool, who are unbeaten after six National League matches. They have picked up three wins so far and are currently fourth in the table.

Hartlepool come into Wednesday's clash off the back of a 0-0 home draw with Boreham Wood in their previous National League fixture. Manager Simon Grayson will consider that result a minor blip, having won their previous two home matches, and will be targeting a swift return to winning ways.

Goals have not been a problem for Hartlepool, who often adopt an open style of play. They also tend to make fast starts and have scored the opening goal in two of their last three National League home matches.

Boston United News

Boston United have had contrasting fortunes to the hosts this season, with just two wins in their opening six matches. They have lost three of their last four matches and are currently in the bottom half of the table.

Graham Coughlan’s team suffered a 3-0 defeat at Truro in their previous National League fixture after managing only one attempt on target throughout the contest. That was their second straight away defeat, having lost 2-0 at Eastleigh in their previous fixture.

Boston United often struggle to keep things tight at the back as evidenced by the defeat at Truro. Their open style means seven of their last nine matches across all competitions have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Hartlepool have never lost in this fixture, with seven wins and one draw from eight previous matches against Boston United. The hosts did the double last season, earning a 2-1 away win before returning home for a 4-1 victory.

Verdict

Hartlepool v Boston Utd

Hartlepool often get the better of Boston United and also come into this clash with two wins from their last three home matches. The hosts are expected to come out on top once again and should also grab the opening goal, having scored first in two of their last three matches in front of their fans.

Both teams often produce open contests whenever they meet, and with their last two clashes serving up over 2.5 goals, a repeat is expected here.
