Blackpool vs Blackburn Rovers Predictions

• Blackpool’s last two games both ended with rip-roaring 3-3 scorelines.
• Five of the last seven H2H encounters saw both teams score.
• Blackburn conceded seven goals across their last three away games.

An exciting all Lancashire affair

While this is perhaps not the most fierce of the Lancashire derbies, it’s a local rivalry nonetheless and bragging rights are at stake. Blackpool come into this after a pair of exciting 3-3 draws, they failed to win from leading positions and clawed back deficits in that run, suggesting that we could be in for yet another exciting encounter here.

Recent meetings between the pair have been end-to-end affairs as well, with a BTTS bet landing in five of the last seven H2H encounters at any venue. However with the side scoring first going on to win the last two meetings at Bloomfield Road, a positive start could be crucial to the Seasiders’ chances.

Oh we do like to be beside the seaside

Blackburn’s rock solid perfect three-game start to the Championship season seems like a distant memory after losing their following three games without reply. They can expect to at least trouble Blackpool’s defence here though given that the hosts are the joint-fourth worst defensive side ahead of this round.

We predict that both teams will score in this game, although Blackpool could inflict further misery on John Dahl Tomasson’s topsy-turvy Blackburn Rovers with our small stakes 2-1 correct score prediction.
