Solihull Moors have an even tougher recent record: 4 wins, 1 draw and 15 losses from their last 20, with 50 goals conceded against 23 scored. Neither side looks settled going into this.
Defensive solidity looks like the bigger issue for both teams right now.

Before that, though, there was a 1-1 draw, and further back the results have swung between both sides, including a couple of 2-2 and 1-1 draws in FA Cup ties. It's not a fixture that tends to be settled by a single dominant side.
Expect goals rather than a cagey, low-scoring game based on this head-to-head record.
Both clubs are struggling near the foot of the table
Hartlepool sit 20th with 12 points from 13 league games, having won 4, drawn 0 and lost 9, scoring 12 and conceding 19. Solihull Moors are 23rd with just 7 points from the same number of matches, winning 2, drawing 1 and losing 10, with 13 scored and 35 conceded.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | Tamworth | 15 | 5 | 2 | 8 | 25/32 | 17 |
| 21 | Hartlepool | 16 | 5 | 0 | 11 | 18/27 | 15 |
| 22 | Solihull Moors | 16 | 4 | 1 | 11 | 19/40 | 13 |
| 23 | Scunthorpe | 15 | 3 | 1 | 11 | 19/30 | 10 |
Those numbers only cover these two clubs rather than the full division, but they show Hartlepool have managed to pick up more points despite a similar defensive profile.

What might decide this one
Put the recent form and the head-to-head together and a pattern emerges: both teams have leaked goals regularly, and their recent meetings have followed suit with high-scoring results. That's consistent with two sides who've struggled defensively rather than any suggestion of a tight, low-scoring affair.
With the match still a month off, injuries, suspensions or a change in approach could easily alter how either side lines up. The underlying numbers right now point to goals at both ends rather than control from either camp.

There's enough here to say both sides have been leaky at the back and that goals have featured regularly when they've met, but that's as far as the evidence takes us.
With no market to assess and recent form offering more questions than answers, sitting this one out feels like the sensible call.
