Stats and Facts:
Head to head:
- Blackpool vs Middlesbrough 1:2
- Middlesbrough vs Blackpool 1:1
- Blackpool vs Middlesbrough 0:2
- Middlesbrough vs Blackpool 1:1

Blackpool have lost just one of their last 21 games at Bloomfield Road in all competitions. That outstanding record on their own field could hand them the edge on Wednesday. Blackpool got promoted this year from the League One, and they have big asspirations. On the other hand Middlesbrough wasn’t so good last season, they finished 10th in the Championship. In this game we are expecting a draw as the clubs are pretty equal in terms of quality.
Goals
BTTS was a winning bet in each of Blackpool’s and Middlesbrough’s first matches this season. Both started this year’s campaign with 1:1 results. Seven of Boro’s last nine games produced goals at both ends while BTTS also landed in five of the last six encounters between the clubs. If you want to bet on the number of goals then you should think about bursting over 2.5 goal line.
Corners and Cards
Both teams play attacking ways of football with two players in the forward line. That means a lot of corners per game. Over 12.5 corners should be a sure thing.
