Hartlepool United have only performed averagely at home, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last six. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 10 to 8.
The away form of Walsall is pretty dire, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While the Saddlers have hit 6 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.
