On February 10th in League 1, England's third most powerful division, at Bloomfield Road stadium, Oxford will play against Blackpool. Let's take a look at the condition of the teams and try to make a decision that could increase our bank.
The squad spent the last 2 years in the Championship, but their game didn't really take off there and they finished 24th last season, dropping back into League 1. Currently, Blackpool is occupying the 8th position in the league table.
In their 26th match, they managed to win against Lincoln (2:0). In the next match, the squad secured a victory over Exeter (2:0). The guys then beat Bristol Rovers (2:1). After this, they had a draw against Charlton (1:1). And in the last round, they suffered a defeat from Stevenage by the smallest margin.
In the old days, the team used to be quite good, but then there was a slump and only in the beginning of the 21st century they returned to League 2. After 8 seasons they received a promotion and are now playing their consecutive season in League 1. Last season, they managed to avoid relegation, finishing 19th.
Currently, Oxford is in 7th place in the league table. In the 26th round, they won against Carlisle (3:1). After this, Oxford lost to Barnsley (0:1). Then they suffered a defeat from Bristol Rovers (1:3). In the next match, they had a draw with Portsmouth (2:2). And in the last game, the guys played a draw with Reading (1:1).
The last head-to-head match between Oxford and Blackpool was on October 21, 2023. That meeting ended in a draw (1:1).
In this confrontation, I would suggest betting on the home side. Blackpool plays much better at home than away. Moreover, Oxford performs weakly away, only winning against underdogs. Thinking that the Tangerines could secure at least a minimal victory in this match.
I reckon the teams won't show high-scoring football, so I'd suggest betting on TU 2.5.
