Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Swindon Town will be aiming to extend their winning run in the League One to three games when they take on Blackpool at County Ground. The Robins are determined to secure promotion to the League One, but Friday’s football game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Anyhow, we are positive that the relegation-threatened hosts will adopt an attack-minded approach against Blackpool.
The Seasiders, on the other hand, aim to retain their spot in top six. Blackpool have been in a fine form of late, and given their attacking potential, punters can surely find value in betting on both teams to score. Jerry Yates, who has netted 15 goals in the League One so far this season, will be the man to watch in the away team, while Blackpool defenders should have experienced attacker Brett Pitman at bay.

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.
