In days when major leagues are in recess due to the upcoming World Cup, English FA Cup plays its lower instances in order to get ready for the big competition starting in 2023. In this sense, Hartlepool will try to make it higher division rank count when they host Solihull Moors for the 1/128 finals. Our suggestion for this game is a home win or draw.

After the 2-2 tie in the first gaqme, Hartlepool know that they have to lift the bar regarding their performance that day in order to continue their way in the competition. Their last home game was a win, so the idea is to continue that way in order to gift their fans a celebration at home befor the start of the World Cup.

Being from a higher division (they play League Two, the fourth division of the country) it is more than clear that responsabilty is on their side regarding the final score. This way, they will try to keep up with their goaling from last game, although being more careful in defense so as to not suffer like they did that day.

On the other hand, Solihull Moors, from National League (fifth division), is not really in their best shape coming to this game. They have lost their last two games without even scoring a goal and are winless in their last five games, with three draws in the remaining games. It will truly be a tough challenge against a higher ranked team.
