Match preview

Hartlepool were too inconsistent to achieve automatic promotion from the National League but they have been excellent against the better teams – winning seven of ten league games against the top six – and can succeed at third-placed Stockport in their playoff semi-final at Edgeley Park.

Stockport have had a two-week break since the end of the regular season but may struggle to cope with battle-hardened Pools, who reached the last four with a 3-2 victory at home to in-form Bromley.

Key stat

Hartlepool have won six of their last nine fixtures.
