Both teams can be satisfied with the way they started the season. Huddersfield is on 9th place with 12 points while Blackpool has amassed 17 points for the 4th position.
Huddersfield do not look like promotion contenders but, nevertheless, they are a tough nu to crack for every team in this league. They were impressive in the first rounds but lost a little bit of steam in the recent games, with just 1 win in the previous 4 encounters. Admittedly, the opposition was pretty strong during this run. Huddersfield is a defensive oriented team, they scored 10 and conceded 6 goals in the first 8 rounds. Seven of those 10 scored goals were signed by ex-Everton man James Vaughan.
Blackpool is not impressing with the recent form either, the Seasiders gaining just one point in the last 2 games, drawing with strong Leicester and losing to Milwall away. Blackpool is a balanced side, an exact average of 2.5 goals are scored in their games.
Team news & lineups
Both sides are relatively injury and suspension free. Huddersfield won`t be able to count on Lynch, while Blackpool will miss Harris. Both these players are defenders.
Huddersfield: Smithies – Dixon, Clarke, Lynch, Gerrard – Hogg, Clayton, Hammill, Richards – Vaughan, Stead
Blackpool: Gilks – Orr, MacKenzie, Broadfoot, Robinson – Basham, Osbourne – Ince, Bishop, Dobbie – Fuller
I rate Blackpool as the slightly better team here, and their form also looks to be a tad better. But away at Huddersfield it will not be an easy game for them and honestly this could go either way. Looking at two out of form teams with not so offensive styles of play, you could expect a low scoring game. Huddersfield is hands down a defensive team and playing at home they will try to set their own rhythm, so this is an important argument for an under 2,5 bet. If Blackpool can contain Vaughan (and they should be able to do it), it-s hard to think we`ll see three or more goals here. A draw could also be in the books. My pick for this one is 1-1 or 0-1.
