Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Bloomfield Road will host Saturday’s football game between Blackpool and Peterborough, the two teams who sit in the playoffs berth ahead of Matchday 15. The Seasiders aim to build on a hard-fought 3-2 win over Cheltenham Town and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Peterborough. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the round 15 clash.
The Posh, on the other hand, defeated Port Vale thanks to Ephron Mason-Clark’s goal in midweek to stay in top six and given their attacking potential, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on both teams to score. Archie Collins limped off with injury in the triumph over the Valiants, with Jadel Katongo likely to step up. You should know that over 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last five meetings in all competitions.
Highlighted Player (Jonson Clarke Harris):
The Leicester born striker started his career at Coventry City, joining their youth academy at the age of 15. Harris, who holds both the English and Jamaican citizenship, chose to represent the former but is yet to feature for any of England's international levels. He made his first professional debut on the 10th of August 2010, in a 2-0 League Cup loss to Morecambe, a feature that made him the youngest player to ever appear for Coventry.
After successive loan moves where he made little impact, Harris left the Sky Blues to join Oldham Athletic in May 2013 on a year-long contract. His excellence earned him the Young Player of the Season award and a high profile move to Rotherham United at the end of the season in a deal worth 350,000 euros. After several inconsistent performances, Harris left the Millers.
He then went on to play for MK Dons and Doncaster on loan before re-joining Coventry for a second spell where-in he helped the club in promoting to League One. Born on the 21st of July 1994, the 25-year-old is known for his physicality and hold-up play and currently plies his trade for Bristol, whom he joined at the start of 2019.
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.
