Prediction: 2-1
Cardiff
Bloomfield Road will host Saturday’s football game between Blackpool and Cardiff City. The Seasiders aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Coventry (1-4) and Preston (1-3), and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field in the relegation six-pointer. Blackpool’s injury list, though, is pretty long including the likes of Jordan Thorniley, Gary Madine, Shayne Lavery, Tom Trybull, Charlie Goode, Marvin Ekpiteta, Liam Bridcutt, and Kevin Stewart.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 3-2 loss to Swansea City, and seeing that Blackpool produce much better showings at home than on the travels, we are tempted to put our money on Mick McCarty’s troops. As for the visiting team, all Callum Robinson, Ebou Adams, and Jamilu Collins are out of contention with injuries. Keep in mind, though, that the Seasiders are eyeing their first win over the South Wales outfit since October 2014.
Highlighted Player (Chris Maxwell):
Chris Maxwell is a Welsh goalkeeper who was born in St Asaph on July 30, 1990. Maxwell began his youth career at Penrhyn Bay (1998-2000) and in 2000 he moved to Wrexham. The 188-cm-tall shoot-stopper made his first-team debut for Wrexham at the age of 18 and he played 76 league games for the club from 2008 to 2012.
During the 2008/2009 season he spent six months on loan at Welsh club Connah’s Quay Nomads and in 2012 he joined Fleetwood Town. Chris Maxwell made 110 appearances in the league for the Trawlermen and on May 16, 2016 he signed a three-year deal with Championship side Preston North End. You should know that he managed to keep clean sheets in 38 appearances for the Lilywhites in the 2016/2017 Championship campaign.
Due to his dual citizenship, Maxwell is capable of representing both Wales and Scotland at senior level, but he played for the Dragons at youth level, being capped for the U21 team 16 times.
Highlighted Team (Cardiff):
Cardiff City are a Welsh football club that compete in the English second tier (Championship). In 2009 they moved from Ninian Park to Cardiff City Stadium, the venue that officially holds 33,280 spectators.
The Bluebirds played their first ever Premier League match on 18 August, 2013, but they were beaten by West Ham United (0-2) on their debut in the English top flight. However, a week later Fraizer Campbell (two goals) and Aron Gunnarson helped Cardiff City record their first ever win in the Premier League.
The Bluebirds outplayed Manchester City back then, but they eventually dropped to the Championship at the end of the season. Fellow Welsh outfit Swansea City are considered Cardiff’s fiercest rivals and the two teams take on each other in the South Wales derby.
The colour of Cardiff City’s home kit is blue, whilst they wear red shirts and shorts when playing on the travels.
