Blackpool vs West Brom: Top Free Betting Tips

Blackpool are all set to line up at Bloomfield Road against West Bromwich Albion for the next EFL Championship fixture on Tuesday, 18 April. The fixture promises to be interesting as both teams have the back of a much-awaited victory coming into this game.

Match Result Prediction: Draw

Blackpool has earned only one victory in the last five games and lost all of the remaining four. West Brom has done a lot better than Blackpool this season but the Baggies have also struggled in recent league outings. Bromwich has tasted six defeats in the previous eight matches on the road, winning only one. The last two H2Hs of these teams ended in the favour of West Brom, playing host to the Seasiders. But Blackpool limited the Baggies to share in the points in the previous meeting at Bloomfield Road. Following these numbers, we predict no team strong enough to take a lead in this game.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: Yes

Four of the last five meetings between these teams at Bloomfield Road have featured both teams on the scoring side. Despite getting through consecutive defeats, Blackpool has not failed to find the back of the net in the previous six league affairs. West Brom has also managed to rattle the net in four of the previous five league adventures away from the Hawthorns. The Baggies have also conceded goals in all of those matches. Hence, we expect this game to display a BTTS pattern at the end of the ninety minutes.

Correct Score Prediction: 1-1 Draw

Blackpool scored one goal in each of the previous six Championship matches. Defensively, Blackpool has leaked more than one goal in only two of the last five matches at Bloomfield Road. On the other hand, West Brom has also managed an average of one goal per game in the last four away fixtures. The Baggies shipped in one goal per game against Stoke and Cardiff City in the previous three games away from the Hawthorns. Based on the given stats, we imagine this game to conclude with a 1-1 equation.

Blackpool vs West Brom: Form, Recent Games, and News

Blackpool Preview

Jerry Yates’ early goal in just the second minute of the game against Wigan Athletic helped Blackpool a 1-0 win. Adding three points, the Seasiders have a gap of four points to get rid of the drop zone, standing in the twenty-third position on the table. But the team’s readiness has been terrible before this game with nine players missing the game due to injuries.

Players to Watch: Callum Connolly (Blackpool)

Blackpool will have a tough match here and they need to do their best to win it. They are a very aggressive side that is not affraid to get booked. One player, in particular, has been extremely effective in his defense – Callum Connolly. The defender has received 11 yellow cards and one red card in 39 games. With two important defenders out of this match, he will have a lot of work.

West Brom Preview

The Baggies ended their four-matches winless streak in the previous attempt against Stoke City at Bet365 Stadium. Following a 1-0 trial in the first half, Jason Molumby came to save three points for West Brom with a stunning brace in the 59th and 69th minutes. Bromwich’s preparation is also less-than-ideal ahead of this game with Dara O’Shea and two other players listed under injury.

Players to Watch: Jayson Molumby (West Brom)

We think that West Brom have been surprisingly bad in attack this season and did not prove the expectations. It is very hard to pick a goalscorer from the team and therefore, we are going for a yellow card market. Jayson Molumby is the most booked player in West Brom with 9 cards in 38 games to date and he will have a lot of work here with Matt Phillips and Grady Diangana out from the midfield for this match.
