Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Blackpool will be aiming for their fifth consecutive league win when they take on Lincoln City at Bloomfield Road. The Seasiders have hit a strong run of form, and head coach Neil Critchley will be encouraged by the fact that there are no fresh injury concerns in his squad. The hosts will be confident, having won their last two home games against Lincoln, adding to their recent dominance in this midweek clash.
The Imps, on the other hand, face a tough challenge, especially with key striker Ben House likely to miss out with injury. His absence should reduce Lincoln's attacking potential, making it even harder to break down Blackpool's defence. With the Seasiders in excellent form and Lincoln struggling without their key attacker, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Steve Bruce's men.
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.
