Hartlepool are unbeaten in their first six National League matches, recording back-to-back 2-0 wins and a 3-0 victory over Woking. The side have conceded just one goal in those six fixtures and remain unbeaten at Victoria Park since March. Simon Grayson's squad have earned plaudits for form and defensive resilience and can move top of the table with a midweek victory. Boston United have lost three of their last four National League games, conceding at least two goals in four of five matches. The Pilgrims suffered a 3-0 defeat to Truro and face defensive concerns and a potential relegation scrap.
Despite settling for consecutive stalemates against Boreham Wood and Southend over the past week, the Durham-based outfit are unbeaten in all of their first six appearances. Storming their way to a stellar 3-0 romp against Woking on August 23rd, the former Blackpool boss has seen his squad gain a string of plaudits since opening up the 2025/26 campaign. Getting the midweek fixtures underway knowing that they could skyrocket their way to the National League table, Hartlepool have also gained a reputation for their defensive steel.
As for the visitors, although Boston might have shocked many last season as they eventually clung to their National League status, the Pilgrims could be set for another relegation scrap this time around. Making an immediate return to losing ways over the weekend as they slumped to a nightmare 3-0 drumming at the hands of fifth-tier returners Truro, Graham Coughland's side look set for another stern examination on Wednesday night.
