Championship betting preview: Blackpool- Derby County
This should come with a government wealth warning, as I have not been in the best of form for the last week, but having said that, both Cardiff City (winning 13.0) and Watford each way ( 67.0) secured big Championship paydays for us in the last 7 days, so hard to complain too much, but I will anyway !
Championship: Blackpool- Derby County
Most clubs like to win their final home game of the season, especially when they have given their supporters precious little else to cheer about. Blackpool fall very much into that category and will be further motivated to get a result after a terrible performance and hammering at Brighton last time out. They are still not safe from relegation and finish with a trip to Bolton next month, where they can expect no favours, so really need a win today. Boss Paul Ince has targeted the defence recently and looked to be getting things right with only 7 goals conceded in 11 starts, before falling off the wagon last week. They get defensive midfielder Isaiah Osborne back from suspension today, which should give the backline a little more protection and it is hard to get away from the feeling that this might well be the last home game for one, or both of Thomas Ince or Matt Philips and they will surely want to sign off with a positive performance . We spoke about County ahead of their 2-0 road loss to Blackburn Rovers earlier this month and about how they were happier on home soil and their season was effectively over, they arrive without suspended keeper Frank Fielding , they have conceded an average of just under 1.5 goals per game without him, even worse, exactly 2.0 on the road ( just one cleansheet in 14), several other key players have been carrying knocks and playing at less than 100%, it seems pointless to risk them now and maybe for today, one or two will be saved for the last match of the season at Pride Park. 1.5 units Blackpool -0.25 ball 1.95 asian line/Ibramarket.
Good Luck.
