Blackpool vs Peterborough United Prediction 20.02.2024

• Competition: EFL Trophy
• Date: 19.02.2024

• Venue: Bloomfield Road (Blackpool)

It appears to be a significant challenge for Blackpool to secure a leading position into the Championship this season. Having played 33 matches, Blackpool currently sits in 8th place with 50 points, which is 6 points behind Oxford, who holds the playoff position. Notably, Blackpool recently defeated Peterborough 2-1 in an away League One match. They now aim to replicate this victory in another crucial game.

Approximately a month ago, Peterborough was in an excellent position, just a few points away from direct placement in the Championship. However, after experiencing 4 consecutive losses, they have dropped to 5th place, making their chances for the Play off uncertain. Peterborough’s defence is under significant strain, having allowed 12 goals in those 4 matches. It is highly likely that there will be modifications in their strategy in the near future.

Blackpool vs Peterborough pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

Just a few days after their last clash, these two teams are once again facing off for the final of the EFL Cup. Blackpool managed to secure a victory over Bolton in the quarterfinals after a penalty shootout, while Peterborough bested Wimbledon. It’s difficult to predict which team has the advantage. Blackpool may have a slight edge based on form, but Peterborough has a strong squad and they’ll be especially driven, given their previous loss to Blackpool in League One. It’s likely we’ll see a low-scoring match as both teams will be playing with extreme caution in this knockout stage.
