Northampton are 6/5 favourites for the three points in tonight's big game with Pools a 9/4 shot and the draw available at odds of 23/10.

However, though those odds aren't the best for making a bigger profit you could be raking in some cash if you plump for the correct first scorer or the perfect scoreline.

Can you bet against Joel Porter hitting the net first? The striker notched his second Pools hat-trick in last week's draw with Swindon and is rated an outstanding 8/1 to score the first goal at Sixfields.

James Brown is in a little at 7/1 to score first, while loan man Kevin Kyle can also be backed to get Pools going at a price of 7/1.

I'm expecting it to be another tight affair with the Cobblers so if you fancy the game to end 1-1 (11/2) or 2-1 to Pools (10/1) then they could be good bets.

And if you stick those two factors together and back Kevin Kyle to score the opening goal in a 2-1 success for Danny Wilson's men you'll be walking away with a profit at odds of 55/1.
