Our prediction for this League 1 match:
After rolling over Crewe 4-1 in the EFL Cup, Blackpool will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Exeter on Matchday 6. The Seasiders have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Republic of Ireland midfielder CJ Hamilton should keep his place in the starting XI after scoring a brace in the EFL Cup triumph.
The Grecians, on the other hand, outplayed Bolton 2-0 in their last league match, but given their four-game losing run at Bloomfield Road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. In their last encounter at the venue the Seasiders defeated the Grecians 2-0. The good news for the visitors is that Northern Ireland international Josh Magennis has overcome his injury. The 34-year-old came as a substitute for the Green and White Army in a 2-0 win over Luxembourg.
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.
