Blackburn vs Blackpool Prediction & Betting Tips (27 August)

Blackpool have every chance of going up this EFL Cup season, with the Blackpool cause being helped by a seven-match unbeaten run on their travels that has included five wins out of six recently. Blackburn come into this contest in pretty poor form, with the Blackburn collecting just two points from a possible 15 as their campaign drifts towards a conclusion.

Blackburn are rarely involved in home games containing four goals or more, with just three of their previous 20 matches falling into this high-scoring category. The same is true of Blackpool on their top-flight travels, with only two of their most recent 20 trips producing over 3.5 goals, so any deviation from this pattern would have to be seen as a bit of a shock.

High-flying Blackburn are one of the most exciting sides to watch in the EFL Cup at the moment, as they have both scored and conceded during the same 90 minutes in 14 of their previous 17 matches. Given that Blackpool have done the same in seven of their last eight away games at this level, it would come as a bit of a surprise were either keeper to pitch a shutout.
