Prediction: 1-1
Nottingham Forest
Blackpool and Nottingham Forest go head to head at Bloomfield Road in what is expected to be an interesting Championship game. Following three consecutive league wins, the Seasiders played out a goalless draw with Sheffield United to stay in the middle of the table. Blackpool have slim chances of securing a top-six finish, but keep in mind that they have already recorded ten wins at home this season. All Keogh, Garbutt, Maxwell, Carey, Anderson, and Ward should miss out with injuries for the home team.
The Reds, on the other hand, are just three points behind the playoffs berth, and with a couple of games in hand. Forest aim to build on back-to-back wins over Reading and Queens Park, but beating Blackpool on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. All Max Lowe, Lewis Grabban, and Loic Mbe Soh are injured for the visiting team.
