League Two tips and odds for Swindon Town's Tuesday evening clash with Hartlepool United.

Swindon's bid to return to League One remains on course after Jack Payne's late match-winner at Newport County (1-2) on Saturday, closing the gap on Port Vale and seeing them sit just outside the automatic promotion positions on goal difference, with a game in hand.

The front-foot style imposed by head coach Ben Garner - top in League Two for average possession (57.5%) and passing accuracy (81.7%) is yielding good results for Swindon, who come into this fixture on a run of four successive victories in all competitions. However, they've tended to perform better on the road, with a pretty dismal record at the County Ground this season - three defeats, three draws and just one win (a narrow 1-0 over Mansfield back in August).

Hartlepool have performed admirably on their return to the Football League, and still find themselves sitting in the top half after their strong start to the campaign, but they're just riding out a tricky patch at the moment. Saturday's 3-1 home defeat to league leaders Forest Green Rovers was their third successive league defeat, a run that also included a 5-0 defeat away to Leyton Orient. They have beaten Everton's Under-21s (EFL Trophy) and League One side Wycombe Wanderers (FA Cup) amid their downturn in league form in November, at least.

This is the first meeting between these two clubs since the 2012-13 League One campaign. Each of the last four have ended up as draws.

斯文顿镇周二晚上与哈特尔普尔曼联的英乙比赛的胜负和赔率。

在杰克·佩恩于周六晚些时候在纽波特郡(1-2)的比赛中制胜后，斯文顿重返英甲的努力仍在进行中，他们缩小了与淡水港的差距，眼看着他们在少赛一场的情况下，凭借净胜球的优势坐在自动升级的位置之外。

主教练本-加纳的前脚风格——平均控球率(57.5%)和传球准确性(81.7%)都在英乙排名第一，为斯文顿带来了良好的成绩，他们在这场比赛中取得了各项赛事的四连胜。然而，他们往往在客场表现得更好，本赛季他们在郡球场的战绩相当惨淡——3负3平，只有1胜(8月以1:0险胜曼斯菲尔德)。

哈特尔普尔在重返足球联赛中表现出色，在强势开局后他们仍然发现自己坐在上半区，但他们现在只是在度过一个棘手的时期。周六主场1 - 3负于联赛领头羊森林格林流浪者是他们联赛的第三次连续失利，其中包括客场0 - 5负于莱顿东方。至少在11月的联赛中，他们击败了埃弗顿的u21 (EFL杯)和英甲球队维康比(足总杯)。

这是两家俱乐部自2012-13赛季英甲联赛以来的首次交锋。最后四场比赛都是平局。
