Blackpool vs Peterborough Match Preview

Blackpool is ranked at 10th place with 53 points and comes in a good run as they are unbeaten in the last five matches collecting two wins and three draws. With these results they have climbed in ranks and sit only three points behind the promotion zone while also having three games in hand, which means they could easily grab the 6th spot as minimum.

In the last five matches, they have scored five goals averaging at least a goal per game and at home they are unbeaten, with a win and four draws over the last five matches while scoring at least once in four of them. Their best scorer Yates is expected to play from the start, actually, he has already netted 12 goals while providing 2 assists for them.

Peterborough, on the other hand, is ranked at 2nd spot with 66 points and comes after some shaky performances where they got a single win two draws and two losses over the last five matches. This caused them to lose the first spot to Hull City and now even risk to drop in the play off zone.

With 57 goals scored so far, they have the second best offensive side in the league and in the last five matches scored a total of six goals averaging at least a goal per game, despite the negative results. Also they managed to find the back of the net in four of the last five duels. For them in attack we should see Clarke-Harris who is the best scorer of the league with 22 goals and 3 assists. He should be backed up by Szmodics and Dembele who have combined for 17 goals and 13 assists together.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Blackpool has got to try and remain unbeaten here in order to aim for the top six and being at home I guess they can score at least a goal considering their rivals failed to keep a clean sheet in three of the last five games. Peterborough plays a very offensive football and with the quality players they have upfront I expect them to score too.
