Recent respective form guides

Cheltenham Town's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Robins have scored 8, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Hartlepool U.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Pools have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Cheltenham T. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 34 games have yielded only 22 points. Hartlepool U. see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League One, showing a record of 43 points from their 37 games played so far,
