Blackpool vs West Bromwich Albion Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• West Brom have lost just one of their last seven games
• Both teams have scored in four of West Brom’s last five games
• Both teams have scored in five of Blackpool’s last six games

West Brom’s late playoff push

West Brom could see themselves move into the playoff places if results go their way in the midweek championship fixtures, sitting just three points off of sixth-placed Blackburn with superior goal difference over the Rovers.

The Baggies will be looking to end the season strong to give themselves the best opportunity of promotion to the Premier League, and a trip to a Blackpool side who have lost four of their last five games is favourable to the visitors. West Brom have lost just one of their last seven games, and have seen both teams score in four of their last five, while Blackpool have had both teams score in five of their last six. As a result, a tip for West Brom to win and both teams to score stands out in this one.

Blackpool look doomed

Blackpool are currently four points off of safety – although Cardiff, who occupy the first safe position, have a game in hand over the Tangerines. With playoff-hopefuls West Brom, Norwich and Millwall all still to play in their last four games, it looks like Blackpool will be going down.

There have been an average of 4.1 goals per game over Blackpool’s last six, conceding three or more goals against each of Luton, Cardiff, Preston, and Coventry, but scored in all four of those games, and put six past QPR. Their defensive issues of late are likely to see them struggle again here, and a correct score prediction of 3-1 West Brom looks good.
