Peterborough United - Blackpool predictions and free betting tips [17/02/2024]

On the 17th of February in League 1, the third-tier division in England, Peterborough United will face Blackpool at the Weston Homes Stadium. Let's take a look at the team's performances and try to make a decision that will give a boost to our bank balance.

Peterborough United

Last season, Peterborough put on a good show. They finished 6th in the championship table and had the opportunity to play in the play-offs for a promotion to the Championship. In the semi-final, they faced off Sheffield Wednesday, who they defeated in the first match with a scoreline of (4:0). However, in the return match, Sheffield pulled a surprise, winning with a scoreline of (6:1) in extra time.

This season Peterborough continue their quest for promotion to the Championship, occupying the 5th position. In the 27th round, they achieved a victory over Shrewsbury Town with a scoreline of (2:1). The following round resulted in a nil-nil draw with Lincoln. Afterwards, they suffered a defeat from Wigan with a scoreline of (2:3). They then lost to Exeter (1:2). In the most recent round, the team succumbed in their 3rd consecutive match to Wycombe with a scoreline of (2:5).

Blackpool

Blackpool spent the last two seasons in the Championship, but failed to perform well over there. Last season they finished at the 24th position, getting relegated back to League 1. Currently, Blackpool occupies the 8th position in the league table.

In the 28th match, they pulled off a victory over Bristol Rovers (2:1). This was followed by a draw with Charlton (1:1). In the subsequent round, they suffered a defeat from Stevenage by a minimal margin. Then the team played a draw with Oxford (1:1). In their last game, they lost on the road to Cheltenham with a scoreline of (0:2).

Head to Head

The last face-off between Peterborough and Blackpool happened on October 28th, 2023. That meeting ended with a away victory for "Boro" with a scoreline of (4:2).

Prediction

In this matchup, I would suggest betting on the home team's victory. Blackpool has not been performing well during away games recently, hence Peterborough has a good chance to snap their losing streak of three matches. Moreover, due to the cancellation of their previous match, they've had more time for preparation, so I believe the home side can claim a victory in this game.

Total Prediction

I think the team will play an aggressive game, hence suggest betting on total over 2.5 goals in this match.
