Hartlepool lost their unbeaten record last weekend as they went down 1-0 to Sheffield Wednesday and bookies think Mick Wadsworth's men will suffer another defeat tomorrow as they travel to Notts County for the televised encounter.
Pools are chalked up by Victor Chandler at 3/1 to bounce back immediately by winning at Meadow Lane, where the hosts are Totesport's 11/10 favourites and Betdaq post 3.5 (5/2) against a draw.
Punters leaning towards the latter can tackle Ladbrokes' 6/1 for it to finish 1-1 while the more ambitious might favour a 2-2 stalemate at 14/1 with Boylesports and Stan James quote odds of 4/1 for both halves to finish all square.
In terms of goals, Skybet offer odds of 8/11 for both teams to find the net and bearing this in mind Pools supporters might like the look of a 2-1 win at 12/1 courtesy of bet365.
A less specific alternative is Partybets' 4/1 for Hartlepool to shade it by a one-goal margin and in what should be a tight affair, Wadsworth's charges are 13/2 to come out on top following a drawn first period.
Betfred chalk 5/6 against a match total of three or more goals and it's 40/85 (Partybets) for United to get on the scoresheet.
Adam Boyd and Colin Nish meanwhile, are both 7/1, with bet365 and Paddy Power respectively, to assist in that department by breaking the deadlock and Ladbrokes make the pair 9/4 and 5/2 to find the net at any stage.
In Blue Square Premier, Darlington ended a six-match winless streak last week, notching twice without reply at home to Newport and the Quakers are Stan James' 5/4 favourites to make it back-to-back victories by beating rock-bottom Bath, Paddy Power's 21/10 underdogs.
The hosts haven't scored in three outings and Partybets make Darlington 23/10 to capitalise on Bath's lack of cutting edge by combining a triumph with a clean sheet. Taking that further, Boylesports rate Mark Cooper's troops at 10/1 to register another 2-0 success and it's 3/1 via Ladbrokes for the Quakers to be in front at both half-time and the final whistle.
