History of the Hartlepool United v Luton Town fixture

Luton Town pack their bags to visit Hartlepool United at Victoria Park on Tuesday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having managed to conjure up just 2 wins from the previous 6 games.

The previous match played between the two at Victoria Park was within the last three years, in December 2001, with Luton Town inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Pool in a League Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Hartlepool United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Pool have scored 8, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Luton Town's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 leaked at the wrong end.

Hartlepool U.'s 57 points from 39 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position. Luton Town lie just outside the playoff positions in the Nationwide League Division Two, picking up 59 from their 38 games so far.
