Preston vs Blackpool Predictions

The West Lancashire derby has been typically short on goals in the last 22 years with just one match having over 2.5. I'm backing another tightly-contested affair with a low-scoring draw predicted.

Head to Head

Earlier this season, Blackpool were 2-0 winners at home.

Preston Form

Preston have won just one of their last seven matches to slip to 15th in the table, a place and a point below Blackpool.

Ryan Lowe's side have failed to score in their last three matches. They drew 0-0 with Cardiff before losing 4-0 at Luton and 1-0 away to Derby at the weekend.

Preston Team News

Preston will be forced into one change with Liam Lindsay suspended following his dismissal against Derby.

Ched Evans is rated doubtful and could miss the game along with Greg Cunningham, Isaiah Brown and Tom Barkhuizen.

Blackpool Form

A heavy 4-1 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest on Saturday has left Blackpool's play-off hopes hanging by a thread.

Neil Critchley's side had given themselves a shot at the top six with three straight wins over Reading 4-1, Stoke 1-0 and Swansea 1-0.

But a 0-0 draw with Sheffield United and the defeat to Forest has left Blackpool needing a minor miracle.

Blackpool Team News

Full-back Dujon Sterling is ruled out with injury, joining Grant Ward and Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel on the sidelines.

Verdict

Preston v Blackpool

Blackpool will be looking for a reaction to Saturday's poor performance, but they are tipped for a point only in the derby. Preston have been draw specialists at home of late and another stalemate is tipped.
