Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Bloomfield Road will host Saturday’s football game between Blackpool and Wycombe. The Seasiders are determined to escape the relegation zone and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field this time out. Defender James Husband should keep his place in the starting XI after scoring a brace in the EFL Cup triumph over Blackburn Rovers, while both Casey and Finnigan limped off with injuries in the midweek triumph.
The Chairboys, on the other hand, aim to build on the EFL Cup victory over Swansea City. As Wycombe are undefeated in the previous nine meetings with Blackpool in all competitions, we predict that they are going to grab something from the match. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Lancashire. In their last meeting in the English third tier the two sides played out a goalless draw.
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.
