Fulham vs Blackpool Predictions

• Fulham have won a league-high eight home games at both half-time/full-time.
• Blackpool trailed at half-time in 50% of their away league games this term.
• 56% of Fulham’s league games, home or away, ended in half-time/full-time wins.

Fantastic Fulham could blow Blackpool away

Fulham conceded in the first minute against Stoke last time out, though they had recovered to lead 2-1 before the interval to eventually squeak out a 3-2 HT/FT victory.

That has often been the story with Fulham, as over half of their league games ended in victories at both intervals. A major contributing factor is their prolific frontline, Fulham have scored more first-half goals at home (21) than Blackpool have managed from kick off to full-time in away league games (15).

With 19 games remaining, Fulham need only 27 more goals to smash the Championship record for goals scored in a season. The hosts have averaged 2.7 scored goals per league game so far and must average just 1.4 in their remaining games to achieve that, expect them to be all guns blazing yet again.

Washout expected for the Seasiders

Blackpool have lost three consecutive away league games ahead of this clash and against lesser opposition to boot. Moreover, they lost out to League Two Hartlepool in the FA Cup in their last trip, which raises questions about their quality ahead of this clash with much greater opponents.

While Blackpool have picked up a league-high nine points from losing positions at half-time this season (W2, D3, L1), I predict that they won’t be able to recover from the Fulham onslaught this time around.

The hosts are simply on another level to the rest of the division and a comprehensive win is expected, 3-1 looks to have a good chance in the correct score market as Fulham seek to smash records.
