It has draw written all over it
If the heading doesn't say it, we're backing this match to end all square. Both sides arrive in form that is impossible to describe as good but without being disastrous at the same time. Blackpool have only manged to avoid defeat once in their last five games – courtesy of a win over Peterborough – but they've only lost two of their last five at home. Hull meanwhile have only lost one of their last five but have only taken eight points from the last 15 available owing to a couple of draws. They have lost two of their last five on the road. As for the head to head record, three of the last four meetings – including the last two – have ended with the points being shared.
Don't expect a clean sheet
We don't need to spend too long on this tip; both sides have been scoring and conceding goals in recent weeks and we expect that trend to continue here. Each of Blackpool's last three games have seen goals at both ends with Hull having not seen a clean sheet in their last four. Four of the last five head to head meetings – including the last three – have all ended with both sides scoring.

Blackpool vs Hull: Check out the team lineups
If you'd offered Blackpool and Hull their current positions (13th and 19th respectively) back in August they would have ripped your arm off. Blackpool look all but safe with 11 points between them and third bottom Peterborough whilst Hull still have work to do with just four points breathing space.
Blackpool Predicted Lineup
Blackpool might have struggled for results recently but the one win they've recorded in their last five was a big one as it came against relegation challenged Peterborough. This is another opportunity to put distance between themselves and those below them.
Predicted XI – Grimshaw, Sterling, Ekpieta, Keogh, Gretarsson, Husband, Connolly, Dougall, Anderson, Madine, Yates
Hull Predicted Lineup
Hull are in a tad of danger near the bottom of the league but they do still have a bit of cushion on the bottom three. The Tigers have found a touch of form lately with just one loss in five and this is another opportunity to add something to their tally – even if it is just the solitary point.
Predicted XI – Baxter, Greaves, McLoughlin, Bernard, Longman, Smallwood, Docherty, Lewis-Potter, Honeyman, Wilks, Eaves
