England Championship - Blackpool vs Sheffield United Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

Blackpool and Sheffield United will go head to head on Thursday’s Championship.

 

Blackpool

Blackpool is currently in the relegation zone with 25 points. They are coming off a 1-1 away draw at Hull City, which has been their straight third League draw lately. They haven’t won any of their last seven rounds, losing four of them in a row and keeping just one clean sheet. They failed to score in any of their last three home League matches and had conceded four goals totally.

 

Sheffield United

Sheffield United beat Coventry City with 3-1 at home in last round, and this has been their fourth straight win. Now Sheffield are placing second with 47 points. When away from home, they won all the latest four visits and had three clean sheets.

 

Prediction:

Blackpool have been poor on their attack in latest home matches, while Sheffield United played well on the road especially on their defenses. Back Sheffield United to win with a clean sheet.

 

1X2 Pick: 2

England Championship - Queens Park Rangers (QPR) vs Blackpool Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

Loftus Road Stadium will host a game between Queens Park Rangers and Blackpool on the evening of Tuesday.

 

Queens Park Rangers (QPR)

This season, they have a record of 1W-1D-1L and are tenth in the League standings. With an average goal differential of zero, they place more emphasis on offense than defense. They have two draws continuously in the most recent games.

 

Blackpool

They have a strong start to the year by defeating Reading at home 1-0. However, they have gone three games without a victory and scoring a goal. According to data from the previous season, they do poorly on the road, with a 22% away win rate.

 

Verdict:

There’s a gap between two sides. QPR take the upper hand over Blackpool in the past head to head games with 4W-5D-1L. What’s more, QPR have the home advantage. So the victory is tending to the host.

 

Pick: 1

 

England League Cup - Blackpool vs Barrow Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

Blackpool will go face to face with Barrow on 9th August

 

Blackpool

After Blackpool concluded the past season in the lower half of the standings in Championship, Blackpool is looking to get better result this season in the second rank of English Premier league football. Blackpool started the new campaign with a win and a loss, putting them somewhere in the center of the standings once more. Blackpool played Stoke City in their previous match and this was a travel game at Bet365 Stadium. The scoreline was a 2-0 defeat in this Championship encounter. Meanwhile, Blackpool is currently without Anderson, Garbutt, Lawrence Gabriel, who are all at the moment on their injury list.

 

Barrow

In as much as Barrow ended the past season just a spot above the relegation zone in League Two, Barrow was also 6 points clear of the first team in it and was never in real danger. Meanwhile, they kicked off the new season in excellent form with a couple of exciting victories in the first 2 rounds. Barrow last League 2 encounter was against Bradford City and the match finished in a 3-2 victory. The game was played at The Dunes Hotel Stadium, with Ben Whitfield, Josh Gordon and Josh Kay netting goals. Anyway, Barrow also has their complete squad at their manager's disposal, without any suspensions or injuries.

 

Verdict:

Blackpool defeated Barrow in their previous three most recent encounters and they defeated them by 2 or more goals in 2 of those 3 matches played. That is exactly what I expect from this upcoming duel as well with lots of goals.
