Prediction: 2-0
Blackpool
Hull City will be aiming to retain their spot in top two when they take on Blackpool at their KCOM Stadium in the League One round 24. The Tigers failed to turn their dominance into victory in a 1-1 draw with Sunderland at Stadium of Light, but they are surely capable of beating Blackpool on home soil. In their last home game in the league Hull City defeated Charlton Athletic (2-0).
The Seasiders, on the other hand, did well to eliminate West Bromwich Albion in the FA Cup at the weekend, with the team making amends for back-to-back League One defeats to Shrewsbury Town and Bristol Rovers. Blackpool, though, have been struggling on the travels of late, which is the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on Hull City, who created a number of clear-cut chances to score in the draw with the Black Cats.
Highlighted Player (Callum Elder):
Callum Elder is an Australia international who plays for Hull City in the League One. Elder started his youth career at Manly United, but in 2011 he was spotted by Leicester City scouts. Despite being a Leicester City player from 2013 to 2019, he did not see any game action with the Foxes in the Premier League.
Callum Elder played for the likes of Mansfield Town, Peterborough United, Brentford, Barnsley, Wigan Athletic, and Ipswich Town before signing a three-year contract with the Tigers for an undisclosed fee. Speaking of his international career, the pacey left-back has one cap with the Australia U20 team.
Elder’s favourite position is left-back, but he is capable of producing fine displays as a centre-back as well. Elder wears the No. 3 jersey at Hull City, and he is an athletic full-back who likes getting up and down the left-hand side. The Australian player was born on January 27, 1995.
Highlighted Team (Blackpool):
Blackpool FC are a professional English club based in Blackpool, Lancashire. Considering that Blackpool is a seaside town, it is no surprise they are nicknamed the Seasiders. Founded back in 1887, the club play their home matches at Bloomfield Road, which can hold up to 17,338 spectators. In the 2009/2010 season Blackpool secured promotion to the Premier League, but they were not competitive at this level, suffering relegation to the Championship the following season.
The club’s biggest success, though, came in 1953 when they defeated Bolton Wanderers 4-3 in the FA Cup final. Blackpool are well known for their orange shirts, but the dominant colour of their away kit is white. Preston are considered the club’s biggest rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the West Lancashire derby.
Charlie Adam, who played for Liverpool and has 26 caps for Scotland national team, is regarded as one of the club’s most notable players.
