Blackpool vs Huddersfield Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Blackpool have not won a league game since October
• Both teams have scored in 67% of Huddersfield’s away games this season, and in 4 of Blackpool’s last five games
• Both of Huddersfield’s two away wins this season have ended 2-1

Early relegation dogfight

Although we’re still only just over half way through the Championship season, it’s hard to see this game as anything other than a relegation scrap. Both Blackpool and Huddersfield currently sit in the relegation zone, level on points, but with Hudderfield having played one less game.

The Terriers have shown more fight in recent games, losing just two of their last five, which should put them in the driver’s seat against a Blackpool side who are without a win since October. A prediction of a 2-1 win for the away side stands out here.

Shipping goals

The Tangerines average 1.48 goals conceded per game, more than the league average of 1.23, and their opponents sit on an average of 1.27. With each side averaging more goals conceded than the league average, there should be goals here. Both teams have scored in 67% of Huddersfield’s away games this season, and that trend could be set to continue on Saturday.

Blackpool’s league struggles

Blackpool have seriously struggled in the league since their last win over Coventry City in October, losing four of the ten games since then and drawing the other four. They look incapable of finding a win as of late, and have conceded in 85% of their home games this season.
