Hartlepool's form makes for grim reading by comparison. They've lost seven of their last ten National League matches, including a 4-1 defeat at Scunthorpe and a 1-3 home loss to Worthing. Their only wins in that stretch came against Woking and Barrow, both at home.

Fylde look the more reliable side away from home right now, while Hartlepool have struggled almost everywhere.

Head-to-head

These two have met plenty of times over the years and the results have swung fairly evenly. Fylde won 2-1 at home in March 2025, but Hartlepool won 2-0 at home the previous November. Go back further and it keeps flipping, including a 3-1 Hartlepool win at home in August 2023 and a 3-3 draw a few years before that.

There's no strong recent pattern for either side to lean on here.

League position

AFC Fylde currently sit third in the National League table, with 20 points from ten games - six wins, two draws, two defeats, and 21 goals for against 13 against. Hartlepool are down in 21st from the same number of matches, with just nine points, three wins, seven defeats, and only eight goals scored against 15 conceded.

That's a sizeable gap this early in the season, though it's a snapshot rather than a guaranteed picture for late October.

How it could play out

Putting the pieces together, Fylde's table position and away form suggest a side doing more right than wrong, even if their home results have been patchier than you'd expect from a third-placed team. Hartlepool arrive having struggled for goals and results almost everywhere this season, home or away.

Head-to-head history doesn't hand either side a psychological edge, and with the game still a month out, both teams' current form could look quite different by kickoff.
