Betting on Blackpool FC
The Oranges, who will host Blackpool vs Huddersfield Town, currently occupy the #23 position in the Championship standings. Michael Appleton’s team has won six games, drawn eight and been defeated on fourteen occasions so far this season.
The sailors have failed to win in their last five games (3 losses, 2 ties); for this reason, they will head into the Blackpool vs Huddersfield Town matchup with a heavy burden and a duty to redeem themselves in front of their supporters with a victory. They also underperformed in the FA Cup, falling to Southampton 2-1 in the fourth round.
In their last away game against Middlesbrough, Blackpool were thrashed 3-0, in a game where possession and timely finishing were the main factors for the home side.
Possible Blackpool FC lineup (5-3-2): Chris Maxwell; Andy Lyons, Callum Connolly, Charlie Goode, Curtis Nelson, CJ Hamilton; Josh Bowler, Tom Trybull, Charlie Patino; Shayne Lavery, Jerry Yates.
Betting on Huddersfield Town AFC
In their most recent game, Huddersfield Town drew 1-1 with QPR in the league. Although they started down, the team had a great reaction and Martyn Waghorn equalized in the 39th minute. Still, the momentum was not enough for a second score.
The team managed by Mark Fotheringham occupies position #22 in the Championship with 27 points from their 7 wins, 6 draws and 15 defeats. For this new Blackpool vs Huddersfield Town clash, the Terriers are expected to sharpen their last line of attack, as they usually create chances from midfield but not with enough clarity to score.
Possible Huddersfield Town lineup (4-3-3): Tomáš Vaclík; Oliver Turton, Tom Lees, Michał Helik, Matthew Lowton; Scott High, Jonathan Hogg, David Kasumu; Joseph Hungbo, Martyn Waghorn, Jack Rudoni.
JefeBet Prediction
Given their recent results, we believe that neither team will take all three points in this Blackpool vs Huddersfield Town .
However, given their respective performances, a draw appears more plausible given that one of the weakest home teams will face off against one of the worst visitors. Both teams’ technical strategies will likely be filled with caution, in an effort to avoid losing points.
Prediction: 1-1 draw.
