Cheltenham Town vs Blackpool Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Preview

We are backing Cheltenham to come away from this match with at least a point and with bet365 offering 8/13 for the double chance it also represents some excellent value. We think it will be a close game and are a bit wary of the head to head record so for our correct score tip we are backing a 1-1 draw at 5/1 with the same site.

Blackpool have an excellent record over their opponents on Saturday and that includes a victory over them earlier in the season in the Checkatrade Trophy but their recent form has been patchy to say the least. They have only managed to claim nine points in their last eight games and the chances of a point for the home team is boosted further when we look at their away form. The Tangerines have claimed just five points from their seven away games this season, a tally that is the fourth worst in the division.

Cheltenham on the other hand look to be finally showing some of the form that got them promoted in such impressive fashion last season. They are undefeated in the last five in the league and are coming into the game with a bit of momentum after they recorded back to back victories.

Both these sides have come into this season with the hope that a strong defence will be the foundation of their success and they have identical records, with just 17 goals conceded from their 14 games, so we would advise on backing a large amount of goals in this match.
