Our prediction for this Championship match:
Blackpool and WBA take on each other at Bloomfield Road on day 19 of the new Championship campaign. The Seasiders came from behind to share the spoils with Swansea City at the weekend, with the team remaining in top ten. However, home win should not be considered this time out as Blackpool’s injury list is pretty long. All Keogh, Ward, Stewart, Virtue, Hamilton, Garbutt, and Maxwell are out of contention with injuries.
The Baggies, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Huddersfield Town, and seeing that they are eager to move closer to automatic promotion places, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on the away side. Jake Livermore is sidelined through suspension, while both Dara O’Shea and Kean Bryan miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
