Our prediction for this Championship match:
Blackburn Rovers will look to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Swansea City when they take on Blackpool on Tuesday evening. The Riversiders aim to climb to the playoffs berth, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach against Blackpool. Both Brereton Diaz and Bradley Dack are major doubts after the duo limped off with injuries at the weekend, while Scott Wharton remains in the recovery room.
The Seasiders, on the other hand, recorded a very important 1-0 win over Stoke, with Ian Poveda scoring the only goal of the match. Blackpool, though, are not regarded as good travellers, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Blackburn’s party at Ewood Park. Gary Madine serves the last of his three-game ban, while all Stewart, Trybull, Goode, Ekpiteta, Bridcutt, and Anderson remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Bradley Dack):
Born in Greenwich, England on December 31, 1993, Bradley Dack is a midfielder who plays for Blackburn Rovers in the Championship. Bradley Dack began his youth career at Charlton Athletic back in 2005 and five years later he moved to Corinthian. However, the English footballer started his senior career at Gillingham, making his league debut against Bradford City on August 18, 2012. 20 days later he scored his first senior goal as he found the net in Football League trophy clash against Crawley Town.
Before joining Blackburn Rovers on June 27, 2017 Bradley Dack played four games on loan for Braintree Town, scoring one goal in those league games. His main position is attacking midfielder, but he is used as both right and left midfielder as well. Dack once described himself as “free role behind two strikers”.
The Blackburn Rovers midfielder often finds the net and it has to be noted that he scored 16 goals in 36 appearances for the Riversiders in the 2017/2018 League One campaign.
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.
