TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Blackpool are on a poor run and have only 1 win in 6 matches. After topping the table and playing some fantastic stuff its all starting to unravel for Holloway at the moment. Its a bit of a mystery as his side remains the same and in fact its strengthened with a few decent loan signings. Holloway has let striker Nathan Ecclestone leave on loan and is trying to release Barry Ferguson. The return from Elliot Grandin is a huge plus for Blackpool as his creativity has been missed. Blackpool looked set for the three points midweek but conceded in the final minute as Holloway's men lost concentration at the death, they will be glad be scoring again though and winning games again is only a matter of time.
Brighton are going through a really tough period. No wins in five for them either, despite still playing the intelligent, passing football they are reknowned for they are totally lacking in the final third. Mackail-Smith is the finished but he not getting anything at the moment. Defensively they are still very strong and possess the best defence and one of the best keepers in the league. Without goals they this means nothing, like last year if they cannot score they will finish mid table. Gus Poyet has made a few barbed comments in the local press over the last few days and it seems he is having problems with the board, he is looking at possible re-inforcements up front but no money is being made available.

BLACKPOOL - BRIGHTON : 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

2.31 Blackpool (Pinnacle)is the selection in this game. I am a huge fan of Brighton and Gus Poyet but his side is lacking at the moment and I cannot see improvement yet. Blackpool have the beating of this Brighton side but it will be very close indeed. Brighton have real quality at the back and in Bridge and Bruno have two Premier class fullbacks. 2.31 Blackpool is a huge price. Willhill are 2.00 and that for me is the correct price.

BLACKPOOL - BRIGHTON :ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Blackpool 0 is the selection here 1.67 (Pinnacle) In a very close game between two evenly matched sides the home win with money back for the draw is taken. Brighton just cannot score and there seems a lack of confidence amongst the attackers. Blackpool themselves are stuttering somewhat but they still remain a quality side. in a close game where the draw is a possibilty we will take Blackpool draw no bet.

BLACKPOOL - BRIGHTON :TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Under 2.50 2.01 (Pinnacle) is the bet here. Free scoring Blackpool take on rock like Brighton. Blackpool however have been under par of late and are not the attacking force they were early season. Brighton have only conceded 8 all season and combined with their attacking woes they do not contribute to goal laden games. They will be very difficult to break down and 1 goal might be enough here. In the last 10 matches 7 games have gone Under 2.50. Total goals in the last 10 games is 20 goals at an average of 2.00 goals a game.
