Blackpool take on the visitors Millwall in the round 45 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Friday, April 28th at Bloomfield Road (Blackpool).
Blackpool prepare to return to League 1. The "Tangerines" once climbed to the Premier League under Holloway, but despite their vibrant style of play, they couldn't stay there for more than a year and were subsequently relegated several times. Only in the season before last, through play-offs, did they manage to secure promotion to League 1. Initially, the Championship newcomer achieved a fairly high 16th place. However, currently, they are competing only with Wigan for second-to-last place. And it was precisely Wigan that they defeated after four consecutive defeats. But after the long-awaited success, they suffered a 0-2 loss to West Bromwich. Even after a 1-0 win over Birmingham on the weekend, the club remains in 23rd place.

Millwall fight for promotion chances. The "Lions" were not really aiming for a direct promotion spot - Burnley and Sheffield United were clearly stronger than all the others in this Championship race. However, it is worth noting the progress of the popular team from London, which is not, to put it mildly, a standout team. In the last season, Gary Rowett's charges managed to climb to 9th place overall. And now they have a good chance of returning to the top 6, that is, to the play-off zone. The only concern is that since mid-March, they have only managed to win against Preston amidst a flurry of losses. They even managed to lose 1-2 to the weak Wigan in the last round.
In the last season, the teams exchanged home victories. Millwall continued this trend in the first round, securing a 2-1 win in London in September. It is quite predictable that the Londoners are the favorites of the pair. But they are also not doing great, so we bet that there will be "under 2.5 total goals" in this match.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
