Prediction: 1-1
Blackpool
Shrewsbury Town will look to bounce back from a massive 3-0 loss to Lincoln when they take on Blackpool in the League One round 36. The Shrews occupy 18th place in the standings, only five points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that Saturday’s game is of big importance for the home side. As for the home side, talented midfielder Jack Hinchy is likely to be recalled to the starting XI after coming off the bench in the defeat to Lincoln.
The Seasiders, on the other hand, are six points behind the playoffs berth. Blackpool are eager to keep their playoffs hopes alive and given their attacking potential, we predict that both teams are going to find the net in the round 36 clash. It has to be noted that the Seasiders defender Andy Lyons is unlikely to feature against Shrewsbury after limping off with injury in the last league match.
