Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-0
Maidstone
All eyes will be on Bloomfield Road when Blackpool and Maidstone United face each other in a competitive match for the first time ever. A place in the FA Cup round 3 is at stake, and we are positive that both teams are going to leave their hearts on the field. The Seasiders have been in a subtle form in the League One of late, with the team scoring eight goals in total in the last three league fixtures, and we are positive that they are going to stick to their attacking style of play.
Maidstone United, on the other hand, occupy ninth position in the National League N/S standings ahead of the FA Cup clash. The Stones set up a meeting with Blackpool by beating the likes of Cheshunt, Hitchin Town, Kings Langley, and Torquay United, but you should know that they faced each of their previous four rivals at home.

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.
