Blackpool vs Peterborough Predictions

Blackpool can edge out Posh

Blackpool should be backed to beat Peterborough at Bloomfield Road on Saturday. The visitors are on a run of four straight defeats away from home in League One and could be heading for another loss here.

Blackpool finished 13th in League One last season, with Peterborough ending up in 18th. Blackpool achieved 60 points from 17 wins, nine draws and 20 losses, while Peterborough won 15 games, drew eight and lost 23 times to finish with 53 points.

Blackpool had just 22% possession in their 2-1 win at Stockport last weekend, with Tom Bloxham scoring the opener in the 22nd minute and Josh Bowler also netting. They defied odds of 4/1 to upset Stockport and secure the victory.

Blackpool have been winners in six of their last eight League One home games.

They are in good form, having only lost one of their last ten League One matches and being winners in seven of the last nine. They have gone eight home games unbeaten in the league.

Blackpool will fancy their chances of scoring here. They have found the net in eight of their last nine League One games, and have scored in six successive matches.

The visitors’ recent form is a concern. Peterborough have failed to win nine of their last ten League One games and have lost seven of their last nine away matches.

The visitors have been defensively vulnerable in recent games, with Peterborough failing to keep a clean sheet in 18 of their last 20 League One matches. They are now on a run of 11 away days without recording a shutout.

Blackpool may be able to edge out Peterborough in a close game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Both teams have scored in ten of the last 12 League One meetings between these sides, and Blackpool have won four of their last five league games by a single goal.
