Blackburn vs Blackpool prediction and top betting tips
Blackpool have their eyes fixed on the prize of avoiding relegation after bagging their first win under Mick McCarthy at the weekend. Can Magic Mick conjure up another result here? Find out with our Blackburn vs Blackpool match preview with free tips, predictions and odds mentioned along the way.
Blackburn vs Blackpool Prediction 1: Draw
We begin our predictions for this game by backing the draw. Neither of these sides have been losing loads of games lately. Blackburn, who sit seventh in the table, are unbeaten across their last seven games but have notably drawn six of those. Blackpool meanwhile have only lost one of their last four games with two draws in that period. Mick McCarthy will very much come into this game with the intention of not getting beat and with Blackburn’s record of stalemates recently, the spoils being shared wouldn’t be the biggest surprise.
Blackburn vs Blackpool Prediction 2: Under 2.5 goals
Our next tip for this game comes from the total goals market and we are predicting under 2.5 goals. Blackburn have gone under the 2.5 threshold in each of their last five games with a lowly game average of just 1.0 goals. Blackpool meanwhile have gone south of the 2.5 mark in two of their last three games and have looked much tighter at the back since McCarthy took charge. When you consider that three of the last five, including each of the last two, head to head games have also gone south of 2.5 goals it feels like a bit of a no brainer!

So, that gives you some insight to how the different bookmakers see the action unfolding. How though do the Blackburn vs Blackpool odds translate into probabilities ahead of this game? Let’s find out.
Blackburn odds: 24/25 (1.96) – 31%
Draw odds: 12/5 (3.40) – 29%
Blackpool odds: 14/5 (3.80) – 26%
As you can see from the above, the bookmakers have this one down as a Blackburn win with Rovers odds on in the match result market. The draw and away win options are somewhat longer odds, however, the fact they’re so closely priced together suggests that, should Blackpool remain in the game, they could easily turn a draw into a win. Not all betting markets have such a clear favourites though; the over/under 2.5 goals options are both odds on with little between them.
Check out the predicted lineups ahead of Blackburn vs BlackpoolBlackburn
Blackburn set up in a 5-4-1 formation in their last match but we can see them shaping up a little different this time as they look to overload what is likely to be a low block backline. As part of that, we’re expecting to see Sammie Szmodics come into the starting XI. Bradley Dack meanwhile will be unavailable due to injury.
Predicted lineup – Pears, Thomas, Carter, Ayala, Hyam, Pickering, Dolan, Buckley, Diaz, Sznodics, Gallagher
Blackpool
Blackpool earned a first win of the Mick McCarthy era at the weekend and, given how McCarthy likes to operate, he’ll be keen to carry that positivity and momentum into this game. The most obvious way of achieving that is with an unchanged lineup. That said, given the quick turnaround in games, some rotation might be needed but, if that occurs, it will likely be at the top end of the pitch.
Predicted lineup – Maxwell, Lyons, Connolly, Nelson, Husband, Dougall, Fiorini, Poveda, Carey, Garbutt, Yates

Player to watch
Blackpool are likely to come under the cosh in this game but having survived an onslaught against Stoke, they’ll be confident of repelling any attacks that come their way. Callum Connolly turned in a mammoth performance during that aforementioned game and his involvement here is going to be vital if the Seasiders are to add more to their points tally here.
