Blackpool Reading betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be the occurrence of some goals. It is true that the two teams are going through a very irregular period, however, they have provided somewhat open games with many goal opportunities. It should be noted that three of Blackpool's last five matches and eight of Reading's last ten clashes ended with the “Over 2.5 Goals” market winning. In this way, a very busy match is expected, with both sides looking to reach the goal.

Preview
Blackpool and Reading meet at Bloomfield Road, in a match for the 35th round of the Championship. Blackpool got an away win by (2‑3), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 20‑10‑2021. The head‑to‑head record between these two teams couldn't be more balanced, since there were 1 draw and 1 win for each team in the last 3 head‑to‑heads. Blackpool registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Blackpool

After 11 wins, 9 draws and 13 losses, the home team is in the 15th position, havinf won 42 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Queens Park Rangers by (2‑1), after in the previous match they have tied (1‑1) an away match against Cardiff City. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home league matches Blackpool has a record of 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 14 points out of 30 possible. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (7 out of 17 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in all of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 7 of the last 17 for this competition have ended ended with Under 1,5 goals. In 33 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 18 times and have only turned the score around in 3. In the last 17 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 7 of their 18 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Blackpool comes to this round unmotivated after an away defeat, by 2-1, in the trip to the Queens Park Rangers stadium. The team led by Neil Critchley has a habit of playing in a 5-2-3, where the three most advanced men are Josh Bowler, Jerry Yates and Hamilton. Taking into account the tactical formation used, one of the great valences of the home team is the channeling of their offensive attacks, mostly through the central aisle. It should be noted that Blackpool also presents interesting arguments from the point of view of aerial play. Coach Neil Critchley should not be able to count on Shayne Lavery, Grant Ward and Chris Maxwell as they are still recovering from injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Daniel Grimshaw, Marvin Ekpiteta, Jordan Thorniley, Dujon Sterling, Jordan Gabriel, Kenneth Dougall, Kevin Stewart, CJ Hamilton, Gary Madine, Josh Bowler, Jerry Yates.
Coach: N. Critchley.

Analysis Reading

The away team is currently in the 21th position of the league, with 29 points won, after 10 wins, 5 draws and 18 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Preston North End, by (2‑3). In the last match, they won in a home match against Birmingham City, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 1 draw and 9 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 25 conceded; against 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 31 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Reading has a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses, so they have won 10 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 33 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 17 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Reading comes to this clash very motivated after a 2-1 home win over Birmingham: Lucas João and Swift signed the goals of the victory. Contrary to the "enemy" of this round, Reading usually plays in a 4-3-3, where the three most advanced players are Junior Hoilett, Lucas João and Tom Ince. The visiting club, when investing in the offensive process, usually does so through the right wing, and in this way, they can take advantage of the quality of the right side Andy Yiadom. It is likely that Danny Drinkwater, Andy Rinomhota and John Swift will play in the most central part of the field, with the latter gaining prominence in the organization of his team's game. Assistant coach Marko Mitrovic should not be able to count on Femi Azeez, Felipe Araruna and Scott Dann as they are, at this stage, handed over to the medical department.

Confirmed Lineup: Luke Southwood, Andy Yiadom, Michael Morrison, Tom McIntyre, Ayotomiwa Dele-Bashiru, John Swift, Danny Drinkwater, Andy Rinomhota, Thomas Ince, Lucas João, Junior Hoilett.
Coach: N. Hunt.
