Hartlepool - Wealdstone

Hartlepool United head into matchday 17 of the National League seeking to arrest a difficult run of results. Their recent form has been marked by inconsistency, including a narrow 2-1 victory over Hornchurch followed by losses to AFC Fylde and Boreham Wood. Conversely, Wealdstone arrive at The Suit Direct Stadium aiming to regain momentum after their recent FA Cup exit against Dover. Their league campaign has seen mixed fortunes, highlighted by a high-scoring 3-2 win against Southend United, though they also suffered a heavy defeat to Yeovil Town earlier in October.

The two sides face each other on 14 November 2026, looking to improve their standing in the table. Their previous National League encounter on 31 March 2026 resulted in a significant 7-0 victory for Wealdstone, a result that looms large over this fixture. As they prepare to collide again, both teams must overcome their recent defensive vulnerabilities to secure a vital result in this competitive league clash.
