Blackpool - Stoke City betting tips and odds

Blackpool will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Stoke City don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 2.71 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

Things are looking problematic for the visiting side. They are going up against a stronger team which also has a home pitch advantage. Victory is still within reach – they’ll just have to work harder than usual to get it.

In a major upset at Sheffield United , Blackpool went home with a solid away victory (0:1) in the last round. The top online bookmakers priced their victory at 6.50. As such, the final 0:1 caught everyone by surprise, especially after the lukewarm first half.

Sportsbooks predicted things to go well for Stoke in the previous round – they had a solid lead in a home game against Cardiff City. The second half caught them off guard, however, and they had to settle for a 3:3 draw in a home game.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from Blackpool and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

Maintaining their defences has been a bit of a struggle for Stoke City lately. They ended up conceding 5 goals over the 3 most recent matches alone, leaving many fans disappointed.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 34.00 odds offered at Betsafe.
