Prediction: 1-1
Blackpool
Spotland Stadium will host Tuesday’s football game between Rochdale and Blackpool, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table ahead of Matchday 43. The Dale are desperate to secure the League One survival, and their recent displays are surely giving fans a reason for optimism. Rochdale head into the match following back-to-back wins over Swindon and Accrington, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Blackpool.
The Seasiders did well to beat Sunderland in their last league match, with the team retaining their spot in top six. Since both Rochdale and Blackpool will go for a win in the midweek clash, both teams to score betting option should be considered. All CJ Hamilton, Keshi Anderson, and Matthew Virtue-Thick are all likely to miss the game with injuries for the visiting team, while Gary Madine is a major doubt.
Highlighted Player (Ryan McLaughlin):
Ryan McLaughlin is a Northern Ireland international who plays for Rochdale in the League One as a right-back. McLaughlin started his youth career at Glenavon back in 2009 and two years later he was spotted by Liverpool scouts, who persuaded him to join the Reds youth academy.
However, instead of playing for Liverpool at senior level, the Northern Ireland defender spent two seasons on loan at Barnsley and Aberdeen before moving to Oldham Athletic. After scoring three goals in 52 league appearances for the club, Ryan McLaughlin joined Rochdale in 2019 for an undisclosed fee.
McLaughlin made his League One debut with the Dale on January 26, 2019 in a 2-1 loss at Barnsley. Speaking of his international career, the pacey right-back made his Northern Ireland debut on May 31, 2014 in a friendly against Uruguay. It has to be noted that the Rochdale defender can be used as both left-back and right midfielder as well.
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.
