Match Preview & Team News

After seven consecutive games without a win and four losses in that period, Blackpool is now part of the relegation zone. The team occupies the 22nd position in the provisional standings with an asset of 25 points. The upcoming match with Sheffield Utd does not seem to be the most comfortable moment for The Seasiders to get out of the crisis they are in.

Sheffield Utd is emerging as one of the two biggest contenders for direct promotion to the Premier League. The Blades are second in the Championship table with 47 points won, the same number as leader Burnley. Sheffield Utd’s big advantage this campaign has been their defensive play – The Blades have conceded the fewest goals of any team in the Championship (21).

Current Form And Home & Away Performances

Despite its disappointing performance since the start of November, Blackpool has progressed in recent weeks. The team is on a run of three consecutive draws, with only two goals conceded in that period. In the last round, Michael Appleton’s squad finished 1-1 in their visit to Hull. Jordan Thorniley received a red card and will not take part in the game against Sheffield Utd.

Although difficult, Sheffield Utd has won their last four games in the Championship. The team’s positive run started on November 12 with a 0-1 win over Cardiff in Wales. The Blades then prevailed over Huddersfield (1-0), Wigan (1-2) and Coventry (3-1). Paul Heckingbottom will not be able to rely on John Egan for the upcoming game against Blackpool. The defender received a red card against Coventry and is suspended.

We expect Blackpool to try to surprise Sheffield Utd and approach aggressively at the beginning of the match, which will create empty spaces for the visitors’ strikers. We predict Both Teams To Score.
