Hartlepool United will desperately be looking to put an end o a run of three straight League Two defeats when they travel to Broadfield Stadium to face Crawley Town on Friday.

Lewis Young’s side claimed a 2-0 home victory over Swindon Town in their last League Two match, extending their unbeaten run on home soil to five – with four wins and one draw – which will provide them with much confidence ahead of the visit of Hartlepool United.
Hosts Red Devils have recorded five wins, one draw and four losses in their 10 League Two matches at Broadfield Stadium this season, while they have won two, drawn three and lost just one of their last league matches.
Meanwhile, Hartlepool United head into the contest off the back of a 5-0 defeat at the hands of Stockport County in their last league match at The Suit Direct Stadium, their third straight loss, leaving them at the bottom of the division in 24th place on 12 points.
The Pools Monkey Hangers will be looking for their first victory in league away matches this season, as they have recorded eight defeat and two draws away from The Suit Direct Stadium.
