Blackpool vs Middlesbrough Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Indran | in Championship Predictions
Blackpool entertains Middlesbrough at Bloomfield Road in this Matchday 25 encounter in the Championship. The hosts are currently in 13th position with 30 points while the visitors are in 5th position with 36 points. Blackpool have hit a major stumbling block in recent matches and have lost four of their last five matches. They have just one win in their last nine matches. They were very well placed in the promotional spots earlier in the season but then they only picked up six points from their last nine matches and their playoff ambitions have quickly disappeared. They are six point of the playoff places and nothing short of victory will sustain their playoff challenge. They won their last home match against Peterborough, a win that brought an end to a four match winless run at home. The last time they won back to back home matches was in October.
Middleborough have hit a purple patch and have four wins in their last five matches and are unbeaten during this period. This recent good form has taken them into the playoff positions. They are nine points behind the leaders and seven points behind the second placed team. They have however played an extra game. They have sixth placed Huddersfield hot on their heels and are above them only because they have the better goal difference. Middleborough will be quietly confident going into this match having won the previous two away matches to Blackpool albeit the last visit being in 2015.
