Blackpool vs Crewe Alexandra Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

After a disastrous start to 2017 it finally seems like Crewe have got their act together and we are backing them to come away with at least a point when they travel to Blackpool this weekend. They are available at an excellent 6/5 on the double chance market with bet365. For our correct score tip we think that a draw is the most likely outcome and a 1-1 full time result is priced at 6/1 with the same site.

After looking so difficult to beat at home for a long time this season, Blackpool have started to look vulnerable at Bloomfield Road of late. The Tangerines are without a win in their previous five league games and even if we extend that to their more general form, we can see they are in pretty poor shape at the moment. Even though they claimed a 4-1 victory over Carlisle last weekend, that result is their only win in their previous eight league games. One thing that does go in their favour is their defensive record, as they have the third meanest defence in the division.

It’s been a good few days to be a Crewe fan. They finally put an end to their 11 match streak without a win, with a big victory over Grimsby last weekend and that was followed up with a hard fought 2-1 win over Wycombe on Tuesday night. Next up for Alex manager David Artell is to challenge their poor away form, as Crewe are without a win in their previous seven and they have lost on their previous three matches on the road.
