Blackpool vs Cheltenham Town Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

There may only be three games left to play this season but both Blackpool and Cheltenham Town still have plenty to play for when they meet at the weekend. With so much on the line, we are backing the hosts to go for the throat and score at least twice, which is available at evens with bet365. For our correct score tip we can’t see there being too much to split the two sides and we think they will play out a 2-1 Blackpool victory, which is available at 15/2 with the same site.

After coming away with a surprising 1-0 win over league leaders Doncaster Rovers on Monday, Blackpool find themselves occupying the last of the play-off places. Despite this, they only hold seventh spot on goal difference and they have to fight off the challenge of at least six other sides who are gunning for the play-off places.

The Tangerines have been in excellent shape at home this season and only four of the 21 sides to visit Bloomfield Road have gone away with all three points. Blackpool have also scored over 1.5 goals in 11 of those 21 games and they have scored 54% of their total goals on home soil.

Cheltenham come into this match with safety in the Football League still not 100% assured despite an improvement in form of late. They still hold one of the poorest away records in the division and have conceded 14 goals in their previous eight league games. The Robins have also conceded over 1.5 goals in 12 of their 21 away games this term.
