Burton vs Blackpool Prediction & Betting Tips (13 August)

Burton have not been in the best of form on their own patch recently, winning just two of their previous 11 top-flight matches, and the Seagulls have actually been beaten in four of their last six home games. Blackpool, by way of contrast, have enjoyed eight wins in 11 the EFL Cup fixtures of late, and they have splashed the cash on new players this summer.

Burton have not been the most exciting side to watch recently, as 14 of their last 17 games at the top table of the EFL Cup have delivered no more than three goals. This has also been the case in six of the previous eight top-flight fixtures involving Blackpool, so anyone expecting over 3.5 goals is likely to be disappointed when the sides go head-to-head.

Both teams have found the net in eight of the last nine matches involving Blackpool in the EFL Cup, so achieving consistency on this particular front has not proven too difficult for the coach charges. Given that seven of the most recent nine Burton games at this level have followed the same pattern, goals are expected at both ends in this clash.
