LiontipsBlackburn vs Blackpool. Prediction and bets on the English League Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
The once solid mid-table Premier League team is now languishing in the Championship, and last season was close to relegation to League One, but still managed to break away from the bottom three by three points. Blackburn started this season well and has not lost in any competition yet. In the Championship, the team beat Derby County (4:2) and Oxford United (2:1), and also did not lose away to one of the favorites, Norwich (2:2). At the last stage of the League Cup, Stockport was easily beaten (6:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
The team has no problems with its composition.
Interesting trends for betting
- The hosts have scored at least two goals in each of the four matches of the season
- The team has not lost in seven matches in a row.
Estimated line-up : Pearce - Britten, Carter, Butt, Pickering - Wyman, Buckley, Tronsted, Sigurdsson - Smodics, Ohashi.
Current form
Blackpool failed to return to the Championship last season, finishing only eighth in League One. The team is three points behind the play-off zone, so they will have to spend this season in the third-strongest English division. The first three rounds were terrible for the visitors. Blackpool suffered defeats from Crawley Town (1:2) and Stockport (0:3), and in the third round, leading 4:1, they missed out on victory against Cambridge United (4:4). At the same time, in the last round of the League Cup they managed to crush Burton Albion (4:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
The team has no problems with its composition.
Interesting trends for betting
- In each of the four matches of the season, the visitors have conceded at least two goals
- The team has scored in its last six away matches
Probable line-up : O'Donnell - Pennington, Baggott, Husband - Apter, Embleton, Carey, Norburn, Ashworth - Beasley, Fletcher.

1.75Tip and bets
The hosts have made a great start to the season and could well extend their unbeaten run. In the previous round, Rovers thrashed an opponent to whom the visitors had recently lost heavily. Blackpool are far from being in the best form at the moment and are unlikely to be able to put up a fight against such a strong opponent as Blackburn.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Blackburn for 2.05
Bet on total
The teams are solving their problems in the championship, so they are unlikely to spend much energy on the cup match. Most likely, the opponents will try to get by with minimal bloodshed, so do not expect a spectacular match.
Betting Tip - total under 2.5 goals with odds of 2.08
Bet on corners
The hosts are considered clear favourites, so they will probably be able to seize the initiative from the very first minutes. We think that Blackburn will have an advantage in corners.
Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1.5) on Blackburn with odds of 1.90
