THE PREDICTION
Two divisions separate these two clubs as League Two Hartlepool host Championship Blackpool. The hosts will enjoy being able to focus on a different competition having not won their last three league games and have nothing to lose here against Neil Critchley’s men, who arrive at Hartlepool as firm favourites. Ultimately, the superior quality and strength-in-depth among the Blackpool first team squad should be enough for them to come through this test even if Critchley opts to rotate his side in certain positions with the visiting defence strong enough to repel a Hartlepool offence who have failed to score in each of their most recent two fixtures at the Suit Direct Stadium.
