Kevin Phillips' side play their second home game inside four days on Tuesday night as Pools welcome Altrincham to the Suit Direct Stadium (7:45pm kick-off).
The Lowdown
Pools are unbeaten in four with Phillips in the dugout, recording an emphatic victory over Boreham Wood last time out. Despite going behind within the first minute, Pools responded with goals from Joe Grey, Mani Dieseruvwe and Luke Waterfall as they jumped to 10th in the table.
Altrincham became unstuck away to Aldershot Town on Saturday night, suffering a 2-0 defeat. Before that result however, the Robins were on a three-game winning streak, scoring eight goals in the process. Phil Parkinson's outfit, which includes former Hartlepool loanees Jake Cooper and Eddy Jones, remain fifth and in the play-off positions.
The History
The sides have met just four times before, with Altrincham remaining unbeaten. In the reverse fixture this season, Pools rescued a point late on through a Joe Grey equaliser.
In the 2020/21 campaign, the sides played out two 1-1 draws, while the Robins also won 2-0 in an FA Cup clash back in 1973.
Team News
Otis Khan, Josh Umerah, Anthony Mancini and Dan Dodds all remain sidelined. Courtney Duffus is also expected to miss out after suffering a setback on his recovery trail.
Courtney Senior will be assessed ahead of the fixture, while Alex Lacey continues to build his fitness after returning to full training last week.
