Tamworth desperately need points on Saturday, Dec 19 at 8:45 PM in the National League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Tamworth come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Hartlepool United, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 0D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Tamworth and Hartlepool United have split their 6 meetings almost evenly (1W–4D–1W). Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.

Verdict: Hartlepool United's quality should tell even on the road. Tamworth will push, but the visitors have too much class. Hartlepool United to win.
