Blackpool go up against Middlesbrough at Bloomfield Road on Saturday in a thrilling Championship match. Blackpool claimed a 2-1 win, while Middlesbrough answered back with a 1-2 win in their two most recent meetings.

Blackpool approach the next Championship round as number 11 in the table, having claimed 11 points this season so far. With eight games behind them, Middlesbrough amassed nine points, placing them as number 17 before their next fixture.

Blackpool are chasing revenge after succumbing to a disappointing defeat in the latest encounter against Middlesbrough. However, judging by prices from the bookmakers, they could be in for more disappointment.

Blackpool scored nine goals, conceded 17 and fought their way to three clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Middlesbrough hit the target 15 times in the last ten outings, which creates an average of 1.5 goals a game. They conceded 1.7 goals per match for a total of 17 goals, while claiming one clean sheet as well.

Blackpool vs Middlesbrough Prediction

Their last three matches saw Blackpool drawing 3-3 with Bristol City, losing 0-1 against Blackburn before beating Huddersfield by 0-1. Blackpool claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Championship. They also drew one and lost three, scored ten goals and conceded eight.

Results have been up and down for Middlesbrough, who beat Swansea by 2-1. Following that up proved too difficult, as they lost 2-1 against Watford, before claiming three points in a 1-0 win against Sunderland. Middlesbrough are winless in their last six away games in the Championship, in which they drew two and lost four. They conceded 13 goals while scoring seven themselves.

Head-to-head encounters tend to bring out the best in both sides, and we fully expect the trend to continue, when Blackpool renew Middlesbrough their acquaintance.
