Yeovil Town Vs Hartlepool United
Football : England : League One
Saturday 13th March 2010 - Kickoff 3.00pm

---

Although 13th Vs 15th sounds like a mid-table match, these are two teams still in of the relegation fight. Yeovil are 9 points ahead of the last relegation place and Hartlepool 6 points above it.

One more win for Yeovil would make them pretty safe however they have a very tough run in.

Yeovil only play two teams below them in their run in and they are both away. Hartlepool however play Exeter, Stockport and Brighton at home and away at Tranmere and Wycombe. Given this i believe this is more of a must win game for Yeovil than Hartlepool.

In the local paper Terry Skiverton wants 2 more wins this season to secure safety and that this really should be one of them. I think that Yeovil will be going all out for the victory on saturday.

Yeovil Recent Form :
Yeovil's home form has been quite consistant in that they have been beating the teams around and below them and losing to the better sides. With 3 wins (MK Dons, Exeter and Wycombe), 1 draw and 2 losses(both to play-off placed teams). Scoring goals has been the concern this year as normal with only seven scored in those 6 games.

Yeovil Team News :
Yeovil have Aiden Downes back but will probably be on the bench. They also have Gavin Williams on loan from Bristol City.

Dean Bowditch is a serious doubt and isn't likely to play. Stephan Stam is out for the rest of the season with ligament damage.

Hartlepool Recent Form :
Hartlepool's away form is very bad at the moment having lost their last 8 away games in a row, they have conceeded 18 goals in those games. With only 12 points away from home all season home form is the emphasis.

Hartlepool Team News :
Hartlepool are still without Denis Behan while is James Brown fit for the Bench after injury.

The Betting Verdict :

With Yeovil's solid home form and Harlepool's abysmal away form coupled with Yeovil's higher necessity for the win - the home side has to be the pick.

With the last 4 games at Huish Park having a solitary goal each unders may be the way to go.
