Blackpool vs Portsmouth Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Preview

After Saturday’s 1-1 with Crewe, Blackpool have recorded four draws from their opening nine games and as the table starts to take shape they find themselves firmly in mid table. The Tangerines will be looking to bounce back into League One at the first attempt after a turbulent few seasons which finally seems to coming to an end. With just two wins from their opening nine games they will know that they will need to turn some of those into wins.  Particularly if they are to have any chance of being in the running for promotion when we reach the business end of the season.

Portsmouth recorded yet another win at the weekend as they continue their march to the top of the division. With just south coast rivals Plymouth ahead of them, Pompey will know that they will need to replicate their excellent home form when on their travels if they are to live up to the title of “title favourites”. An excellent 5-1 win at the weekend proved that they can put their opponents to the sword when they want and they still boast the joint best defensive records in the league.

With just one win from four on the road so far for Pompey, this season we are going to stay away from them recording a second for our tip. With Blackpool struggling to find the back of the net and Portsmouth yet to be involved in a game containing over 2.5 goals on the road so far, we are backing that to continue, so are betting on under 2.5 goals at 17/20 with bet365.
