Peterborough vs Blackpool Prediction

Right then, let's have a proper look at this relegation six-pointer down at the bottom of League One. Peterborough sitting 23rd with 10 points, Blackpool rock bottom with 9 - someone's getting a bit of breathing room here, mate!

Peterborough's recent form has been a bit of a mixed bag, hasn't it? They had a decent 0-0 draw against Stevenage (who're flying high in 2nd) and nicked a 1-0 win at Burton. But then they got hammered 3-0 at home by Lincoln and lost 2-1 at Bolton. At home, they're averaging 1.33 goals but also leaking 1.67 - proper end-to-end stuff!

Blackpool though... blimey, their away form is shocking. Zero goals in their last three away trips! Lost 0-1 at Stockport, 0-1 at Bradford, 0-1 at Northampton. That's three away games on the spin without finding the net. They're averaging a big fat zero goals away from home recently.

The head-to-head's been pretty even over the years - 4 wins each and 1 draw from 9 meetings. But here's the interesting bit: 8 of those 9 games have gone over 2.5 goals. Both teams have scored in 6 of 9 too.

Looking at the stats, Peterborough are scoring at home but Blackpool just can't buy a goal on the road. The goal expectancy suggests around 2.6 goals in total, but when you see Blackpool's away form... well, I'm not convinced.

Key Points:

• Bottom of the table clash - both teams desperate for points

• Blackpool haven't scored in their last 3 away games (0 goals)

• Peterborough score 1.33 goals per home game but concede 1.67

• 8 of 9 head-to-head meetings have gone over 2.5 goals

• Both teams have defensive issues but Blackpool's away attack is non-existent

Given Blackpool's shocking away form in front of goal, I'm leaning towards this being a low-scoring affair. Peterborough might nick one, but I can't see Blackpool contributing much to the goals tally.
