Our prediction for this Championship match:
Blackpool and Millwall go head to head at Bloomfield Road in the Championship round 28. The Seasiders quickly bounced back from back-to-back losses to Huddersfield and Middlesbrough, with the team beating Hull City thanks to Gary Madine’s goal from the penalty spot. Blackpool aim to stay in the playoffs race, and we are positive that they will go for a win in Saturday’s football match.
Reece James has been tested positive for coronavirus, while all Kevin Stewart, Grant Ward, and Matty Virtue should miss out with injuries. The Lions, on the other hand, are level on points with Blackpool ahead of Matchday 28. Since both sides are eager to return to winning ways in the Championship, we believe that both teams to score betting option should be considered. The likes of Jed Wallace, Daniel Ballard, and Ryan Leonard are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
