Woking desperately need points on Saturday, Sep 5 at 4:00 PM in the National League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Hartlepool United come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 1L). Woking travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Hartlepool United head into this on the back of a defeat, while Woking arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Despite playing at home, Hartlepool United face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Woking have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Hartlepool United won 0–4. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Hartlepool United clear favorites, but Woking have shown they can grind out results. Expect Hartlepool United to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
