Blackpool v Burnley Betting Tips and Free Bet Predictions

Blackpool vs Burley football betting tips and predictions with a preview of Good Friday’s televised Championship match.

Sky are treating us to a Lancashire derby on Friday teatime as Burnley travel to Bloomfield Road, attempting to take a significant leap towards the Premier League. The Clarets pummelled Middlesbrough, but the men from the Tees are one of the leagues form teams and held on valiantly to all 3 points. Burnley fans are biting their fingernails, knowing that they are in the driving seat and to use the age old cliché ‘It’s theirs to lose’.

Blackpool meanwhile completed an almost unfathomable feat on Saturday – losing to Leeds United. The West Yorkshire side hadn’t won since the start of February prior to that and triumphed against a poor Blackpool side and cemented their Championship status for another season. It’s all a bit of a mess on the seaside. Having enjoyed their best start for 67 years, they slumped alarmingly in December and have only won twice since the end of November. League 1 is looking a real possibility and with a temporary manager resorting to playing himself as a last roll of the dice, there is a lot of animosity amongst fans, who do not like to be beside the seaside.

Blackpool haven’t scored more than 1 goal in any of their matches since November when they popped two past Sheffield Wednesday. They very rarely score 1, so Burnley to win to nil might be an advisable bet for our first prediction, it’s 23/10 at Ladbrokes. Burnley’s defence has largely been watertight and I can’t see them leaking goals to a largely powder-puff Blackpool attack.

Danny Ings is the obvious first goalscorer betting choice, but he is still regaining full fitness. Scott Arfield has chipped in with a few vital goals throughout the season. He has become an integral part of the team and Sean Dyche’s men tend to score goals from all over the field. The former Huddersfield man has scored 7 this season, which matches his total in 3 years at the Yorkshire club. He scored an important equaliser against Watford a couple of weeks ago and he is 9/2 with Paddy Power to score anytime, which makes up our second football tip for Friday.

The Clarets may want to make up for missed chances on Saturday and Blackpool’s defence is disjointed and with the addition of Gary McKenzie to the treatment table, they may be susceptible to Burnley’s goal threat. Burnley -1 on the handicap market might be a sensible option and is available at 31/10 with Ladbrokes. Blackpool shipped 3 against Leicester, 3 against Derby and 5 against Reading, so the top teams certainly know how to find the back of the Seasiders net.
