Our prediction for this Championship match:
Bloomfield Road will host Saturday’s football game between Blackpool and Luton Town, the two mid-table sides. The Seasiders aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to WBA, and there is every chance boss Michael Appleton will make changes to the team that faced the Baggies. Both Theodor Corbeanu and Shayne Lavery are pushing for a start, while all Anderson, Beesley, Birdcutt, Gabriel, and Stewart continue to miss out through injuries.
The Hatters, on the other hand, head into the match following back-to-back draws with Sunderland and Reading. Luton Town have been producing fine displays on the road this term, and we are positive that they will grab something from the match. Luke Berry is likely to replace fellow midfielder Sonny Bradley in the starting XI as the later limped off with injury in the goalless draw with Reading. Defender Gabriel Osho remains on the sidelines through suspension.
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.
