Betting on Blackpool
Blackpool secured a valuable victory in the last matchday by the minimum score against Wigan Athletic, thanks to an early goal by Jerry Yates. This result was much needed, as it allowed the team to break a streak of four defeats, in which it conceded a total of 13 goals.
Blackpool will be playing at home again, and it needs to win to avoid relegation to League One. The team holds the second-to-last position with 38 points, and it also holds the record for the most defeats in the tournament with 22 losses.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Daniel Grimshaw; Jordan Thorniley, Curtis Nelson, James Husband, Andy Lyons; Lewis Fiorini, Josh Bowler, C.J. Hamilton; Morgan Rogers, Ian Poveda, Jerry Yates.
Betting on West Bromwich Albion Football Club
In the previous match, West Brom got back to winning ways after a month without a victory by beating Stoke City 2-1 on the road. The team managed to overturn an initial deficit by scoring two goals in the second half.
Currently, West Brom has 60 points and holds the eleventh place in the standings. However, it is just two points behind Coventry City, which is in sixth place and holds the last available spot for the promotion playoffs to the Premier League.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Alex Palmer; Erik Pieters, Semi Ajayi, Conor Townsend, Darnell Furlong; Nathaniel Chalobah, Jayson Molumby; Jed Wallace, Brandon Thomas-Asante, John Swift; Daryl Dyke.
JefeBet Prediction
This Blackpool vs West Brom could be an exciting match, with both teams having specific needs, so they will have to go for the result from the first minute. Blackpool will be playing at home again, while West Brom will be playing away for the second time in a row.
It’s worth noting that Blackpool has the worst defense in the tournament, having conceded 67 goals after playing 42 matches. On the other hand, West Brom is only one of eleven teams with a positive goal difference, with a +7.
Given the context, it could be a high-scoring match, but based on performance, we at JefeBet believe that the visitors can come out on top in this EFL Championship thrilling encounter.
