Draw or Huddersfield to Win
Four of Blackpool’s last seven games ended in draws. Also, the Seasiders drew two and lost three of their last five home games. Huddersfield on the other side won one drew one and lost two of their last four away games.
Under 2.5 Goals
According to the statistics, there is a 57% chance for this game to produce under 2.5 goals. The same number of goals were scored in Blackpool’s five of their last six games and in Huddersfield’s five of their previous seven fixtures.
Correct Score Group Bet 0-0 or 1-0 or 0-1
This group of scores is the most frequent in both teams’ games this season. In detail, ten of Blackpool’s Championship fixtures and nine of Huddersfield’s league games ended by one of these scores.
Blackpool
After the high of their 4-1 FA Cup win over Nottingham Forest, Blackpool were brought back down to earth with a bump as they lost 2-0 in the Championship to Watford to remain in the bottom three.
Doing so in this clash between two sides battling for survival could spell danger as the Tangerines have lost all seven home league games after conceding the opener this term. Moreover, Blackpool have only beaten Huddersfield Town here once in four attempts (D1, L2), scoring just twice during those fixtures.
Huddersfield
As Blackpool search for form, they could even look at Huddersfield for inspiration as the visitors have put together a good league run since Christmas Day (W2, D1, L1). If other results go their way, a win here would lift the Terriers out of the bottom three for the first time since mid-August.
Huddersfield conceded at least one goal in 11 of their 12 away matches. Nevertheless, the Terriers have improved in terms of picking up points in the last eight games to 1.38 per match as opposed to their season’s average of 1.00.
Both of these teams are desperate to win this game as that might take them out of the bottom three. However, Huddersfield have a better h2h record in the last five meetings despite losing the last one at home in September. We will back a draw or Huddersfield to win.
Blackpool scored an average of 1.08 goals per game when playing in front of their fans. Huddersfield conceded one or fewer goals in their last six away games. With odds of 1.55 at 1xBet, we predict Blackpool to score under 1.5 goals.
Captain Marvin Ekpiteta has been leading by example, scoring Blackpool’s opener in two of their last four games. Huddersfield will hope Duane Holmes can take the initiative here however, as he’s netted the opener in two of Huddersfield’s last three league games.
Birdcutt, Florini, Corbeanu, Anderson, Gabriel, and Stewart are injured for Blackpool.
For Huddersfield, Anjorin, Turton, Nakayama, and Jones are ruled out.
Blackpool: Maxwell; Connolly, Ekpiteta, Thorniley, Husband; Carey, Patino, Bowler; Hamilton, Madine, Rogers;
Huddersfield: Bilokapic; Lees, Helik, Pearson; Lowton, High, Hogg, Ruffles; Rudoni, Holmes, Rhodes;
Bloomfield Road in Blackpool.
