Blackpool take on the visitors West Bromwich Albion in the round 43 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 18th at Bloomfield Road (Blackpool).
In the last round, Blackpool were able to achieve a long-awaited victory for themselves, beating bottom-placed Wigan. And in the 10 previous rounds, the "Tangerines" could only boast of one victory. Despite being second to last in the table, Blackpool's chances of survival are still quite realistic, as they are only 4 points away from safety. However, considering how rarely this team pleases their fans with victories, it is highly unlikely that they will be able to aim for a win against experienced West Brom in the upcoming match. It is also worth noting that the hosts of the upcoming match have been experiencing serious defensive problems lately. If we exclude the match of the last round against Wigan, then Blackpool has not conceded less than 3 goals in a match in 4 consecutive games. All this clearly does not make the "Tangerines" the favorites of the upcoming battle, as they will face an experienced and highly motivated team.

"Throstles" can occasionally be seen in the "Premier League", and accordingly in the "Championship" this team is considered a major force and one of the main contenders for promotion. The current situation for the "Throstles" is that they are in 11th position, but the density in the table is very high, and the gap to the 6th position, which will allow the team to play in the promotion playoffs, is only 3 points. The current form of Carlos Corberan's team is quite good. Yes, they don't really manage to win in a row, but the "Throstles" mostly alternate draws and victories. So, their trip to Blackpool is unlikely to end in a fatal failure, and the guests will definitely be able to score some points in this match.
The teams are currently solving completely different tasks, and both teams are coping with varying degrees of success. Bookmakers naturally give the advantage to the guests in this match, but the odds for "Throstles" (1.9) suggest that there are some doubts about the guests' victory. My choice for this match will be the handicap bet: West Bromwich 0. Considering how rarely Blackpool wins now, it is unlikely that they will win two games in a row, and it is better to hedge against draws in this case.
Prediction for the match: West Bromwich to win with 0.0 handicap.
