Prediction: 2-0
Blackpool
Buoyed by a 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest, Middlesbrough will be aiming to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Blackpool at their Riverside Stadium. The Boro did well to put an end to their four-game winless run, but they do not want to stop now. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be former Norwich City midfielder Onel Hernandez, who opened his goal-scoring account in the midweek triumph.
The Seasiders, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Huddersfield, and it is no wonder the bookies see them as underdogs in Saturday’s clash. Given Middlesbrough’s display in the triumph over Forest, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. Matty Virtue is sidelined with injury, while all CJ Hamilton, Grant Ward, and Demetri Mitchell are rated doubtful for the game.

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.
