Luton Town could not have a worse home record, losing every single one of the last six matches played! While The Hatters have scored 4, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.

Hartlepool U.'s away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Pools's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 9 goals for and 7 against.
