Some bookies are finding it tough to separate Hartlepool and Doncaster as the pair face off at Victoria Park, BetVictor quoting the visitors at 7/4 to pouch the spoils and Stan James offering identical odds for a much-needed Pools success.

Subsequently, plenty of neutral punters look set to head towards the stalemate, priced by Ladbrokes at 23/10 and it follows that both Skybet's 10/1 posted against a goalless encounter and bet365's 4/1 for scores to be level at the end of each half, could prove popular.

Home supporters noting that their side has won just one match in all competitions this term might seek assistance in the handicaps where Pools benefit from a goal start at odds of 1/2 via bet365. Alternatively, Paddy Power rate Pools at even money in the 'Draw No Bet' market while cautious fans can avoid backing their team altogether and instead opt for a match total of fewer than three goals, an outcome BetVictor offer at 8/11.

For the more confident, William Hill make Neale Cooper's troops 8/1 to pick up their second success of the campaign by grabbing the only goal - and for those seeking something less specific there's either Skybet's 7/2 for a home triumph 'to nil' or any victory by a one-goal margin for Hartlepool, the latter available at 10/3 courtesy of BetVictor.

Steve Howard is a 13/2 chance via bet365 to break the deadlock, the same firm also offering 2/1 about the powerful striker finding the net at any stage and it's 11/10 at Stan James for the opener to be struck by any Pools player.

At the other end, Ladbrokes mark 12/5 against Cooper's charges holding firm to keep a clean sheet.

In the World Cup, a much sterner test than last night's game with San Marino looms for Roy Hodgson's men, who head to Warsaw on Tuesday to face Poland.

Nevertheless, the Three Lions are BetVictor's even money favourites to rack up another victory, with Poland priced at 11/5 by William Hill, the same odds Stan James post against a stalemate.

BetVictor seemingly fear a slender 1-0 win for Hodgson's side, offering odds of just 11/2 for England to grab the only goal while the online bookmaker also offer 4/1 for the visitors to nick it despite a drawn first period.
