Prediction for the match between Hartlepool United and Altrincham in the English National League: an intriguing encounter is expected between two teams in good form. Hartlepool United is in 10th place, with 3 wins and 1 draw in their last 5 matches. Altrincham is in 5th place, with 3 wins and 2 losses in their recent games. Both teams score and concede a lot of goals, so I expect a total of over 2.5 goals. Hartlepool showed a solid performance in their last match, while Altrincham will be looking to bounce back from a defeat. These factors set the stage for an open game with plenty of goals on the field.
