Blackpool to drop points
Blackpool's form has gotten worse recently; they have no wins in their last five games, a five game stretch where they scored just three goals. It's important to mention that Blackpool managed just one point from a possible 12 in their last four games. To be fair Birmingham have also struggled recently; they have just one win in their last six games, and they are coming off back-to-back losses. However, Birmingham tend to play well against Blackpool; they've won three of the last four meetings between these two, and have lost just once in their last eight clashes. Considering both teams have found it difficult to win games recently, we think this will likely end in a draw; however, considering the odds, we would like to cover Birmingham too.
Don't expect the goals to flow
We've mentioned that Blackpool scored just three goals in their last five games; we would also like to point out that they haven't scored more than one goal in any of their last seven games. As a result of this, most of Blackpool's games have been low-scoring games; five of those seven games went under 2.5, with four of them going under 1.5. Like Blackpool, Birmingham have had their fair share of low-scoring games; as five of their last six games went below the 2.5 goal line. Furthermore, meetings between these teams have not seen a lot of goals; as six of their last seven games saw less than three goals scored. On that note, this will likely be a low-scoring affair.

Blackpool Predicted Lineup
