On 24th February in League 1, the third highest division in England, at "Bloomfield Road" stadium, Bolton will play against Blackpool. Let's look at the current form of the teams and try to make a decision on what bet to place to increase our bankroll. Let's go.
The team has spent the last 2 years in the Championship, but their performance did not set quite right and last season they ranked 24th, falling back to League 1. Currently, Blackpool occupies 8th position in the league table. In the 29th match, they drew with Charlton (1:1). In the next round, they suffered a defeat from Stevenage by a minimal score. Then the team played a draw with Oxford (1:1). After that, they lost away to Cheltenham with a score (0:2). Yet in the last round, the lads scored a win over Peterborough (2:1).
This team is well known to many for performing in the Premier League. Now they are headed by Ian Evatt, and thanks to him that they came out of League 2, and for already the 3rd season are spending time in England's third division. Last year they were close to getting into the Championship, but in the playoff stage, they were beaten by Barnsley with a score (1:2).
In the 28th round, their winning streak was again interrupted, this time due to a draw with Barnsley (1:1). Then the team played a draw with Northampton (1:1). In the next round, they beat Wycombe at their home ground with a score (2:1). After that, the lads played a high-scoring draw with Charlton (3:3). In the last match, Bolton managed to win away at Cambridge with a score (2:1).
The last head-to-head match between Bolton and Blackpool was on 30th January 2024 in the Cup. That meeting ended with a victory for Blackpool in extra time (1:0).
Bolton has been performing brilliantly this season, even on the road they show rather decent results. Blackpool's stability has been suffering lately, as the team alternates wins with losses and draws. I think that Bolton has the ability to take points on the road, so I would suggest betting on their zero handicap.
I think in this confrontation the teams will be able to show a high-scoring football, therefore I would suggest placing a bet on over 2.5.
