A quick peek at the odds suggests anything but a win for Stoke will come as a surprise when they take on Blackpool at Bet365 Stadium this coming Saturday in the Championship.

Stoke vs Blackpool Preview

Stoke claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Championship. They also drew one and lost two, as they scored five and conceded three goals.

While a title race is perhaps a too optimistic a longthrow, a podium finish does not look beyong Stoke, should they manage to catch a strong momentum.

Blackpool claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Championship. They also drew two and were defeated three times, as they were outscored by ten goals to five.

Staying clear of finishing inside the relegation zone is probably the best Blackpool can aim for this season. Each and every point counts from the word go.

Stoke and Blackpool are mostly leaning towards matches shy on goals, as it seems that not conceding is more important than attempting to score. This indicates a close encounter is on the menu on Saturday.
