Blackpool vs Reading Preview

Blackpool have been a bit bleak in their last three matches, although it opened with a 0-2 victory against Barnsley. Unable to follow that up, they went down 0-2 against Derby, before handing over all three points in a 5-0 defeat against Peterborough. The relegation battle is a fierce one year in and year out, and Blackpool is expected to be in the middle of the Championship relegation fight for the majority of the campaign. Blackpool won three of their previous six matches at Bloomfield Road in the Championship. They drew one and suffered two defeats, scoring 12 goals to eight against.

Reading were unable to pick up a single point in their last three matches, as they were first beaten 3-0 by Hull. Next up, West Bromwich won 0-1, before losing 1-0 against Luton. Reading only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Championship. In these six matches they drew two and lost three as well as being outscored by 11 goals to four.

It seems both Reading and Blackpool have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues this coming Saturday, and we are rooting for goals.
