Hartlepool United, Recent FormWith Carlisle United sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Hartlepool United won't feel totally dejected with their 3-1 away defeat by them last time out.
When it comes to attacking power Keith Curle will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 9 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 11 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. Curle will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home matches.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
Goalscorer Josh Umerah will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Hartlepool United.
Colchester United, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 1-1 draw against Salford City will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Colchester United.
It's fair to say that manager Matt Bloomfield will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. They have found it hard to grab league points away from home of late, primarily due to their back line shipping at least 1 goal in 13 of their last 14 away games.
They've had a good run of form away from home recently, with 3 straight wins in a row.
On an individual basis, Junior Tchamadeu has scored in each of Colchester United's last league game away from home.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The U's will be confident of finding the net in this one against Hartlepool, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 5 encounters between the two sides. The Colchester defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit The Pool in the league, with Colchester conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing at home, Hartlepool have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Colchester.
In the league, Colchester have been unbeaten in the last 4 times they have visited Hartlepool at The Suit Direct Stadium.
With no real injury worries, Hartlepool manager Keith Curle will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Colchester manager Matt Bloomfield has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
