Blackpool way down the bottom of the table should be a pushover, on the other hand when you look closer. Playing at home Blackpool have only conceded 1 goal since November 21st. Form against top table opposition:- Burton ................away.......lost......1-0 Walsall................Away.......draw....1-1 Wigan.................away........win......1-0 Coventry.............away.......draw....0-0 Millwall................home......draw....1-1 Sheffield..............away......draw....1-1 Peterborough......home......win......2-0 So in total that's 2 wins, 4 draws, and only 1 lost. (the only defeat was away) I'm looking for a 2-1 victory but appreciate that my rose tinted glasses could be influencing that prediction.
Yes. Coincidentally I just checked on statto.com to try and get some guidance as to what I might put for my prediction league, and seen that Gills away attack is rated 4th in the division, but away defence only 19th (which won't come as much of a surprise given what we all know). Blackpool's home attack however is rated 24th (or last), but their defence is rated as 8th best. So, in summary, a rubbish home attack record against a fairly rubbish away defence record, and a strong away attack record against a fairly strong home defence record. However if we could predict results just from stats then Ladbrokes et al would soon be out of business, and I still think that somewhere Gills have got a big away win in their locker. And a bit of local information (for those who don't look at the weather on tv) it's been very wet this week, though tomorrow is looking dry and windy. Can't see the pitch being anything less than heavy though.
