All square
We begin our tips for this match by sitting firmly on the fence with a draw prediction. Blackpool have lacked any real consistency in recent weeks with two wins, two losses and a draw from their last five matches and Luton's form has been broadly similar. They've drawn two, won two and lost one of their past five where, notably, their two draws have come in their last two games. With neither side dominating where form is concerned, the head to head record perhaps takes on more significance; four of the last five meetings between them have ended all square.
Going over 2.5 goals
Our next tip for this game is backing the match to serve up at least three goals – or more specifically over 2.5 goals as per the total goals market. Luton cast a tiny element of doubt on this bet with just two of their last five games going south of the 2.5 mark but with a head to head record that shows three of the last five meetings have gone over the 2.5 threshold and with those five games serving up a combined 15 goals – that's 3.0 per game – there is little to worry about. That becomes even more true when you look at how Blackpool have performed of late; four of their last five have gone over the 2.5 mark with their five game average sitting at a whopping 4.0 goals.

Can this midtable duo breathe life into their campaign?
It's probably not a great time to be a fan of Blackpool or Luton. Sure, there aren't any genuine relegation fears but there isn't much realistic hope of promotion either, which means you're just in a no man's land of going through the motions. Can either side throw loose the handbrake in this match to give their supporters something to cling to?
Blackpool's last home game was a bouncing affair as they beat their local rivals. Even with half a dozen players rules out through injury – including Liam Bridcutt and Keshi Anderson – they'll hope to build on that here.
Blackpool Predicted lineup – Maxwell, Connolly, Ekpiteta, Thorniley, Husband, Wright, Dougall, Carey, Yates, Hamilton, Madine
Gabriel Osho and Henri Lansbury being missing from this game through suspension and injury respectively are big losses for Luton. That said, they've taken points in each of their last two games so will be keen to make it three without defeat here.
Luton Predicted lineup – Horvath, Lockyer, Bradley, Potts, Bree, Bell, Doughty, Mpanzu, Cornick, Campbell, Adebayo
