Today's Predictions for Blackpool vs Millwall

Millwall have lost three of their last four games in the Championship ahead of their meeting with Blackpool on Friday evening. Read our top Blackpool vs Millwall predictions for this week’s fixture below.

Blackpool Double Chance

Millwall are letting their playoff hopes slip between their fingers and their 2-1 loss at bottom club Wigan at the weekend was their third defeat in four assignments in the Championship. On Friday, they travel to take on another side scrapping for their lives near the foot of the table in Blackpool, and more misery for the Londoners could await. The Seasiders have won two of their last three games and they’ve been showing enough fighting spirit to make them a backable prospect in the double chance market against a wilting Millwall outfit.

Under 2.5 Goals

For our second Blackpool vs Millwall prediction, we’re delving into the goals markets, where a stake on under 2.5 goals appeals at the prices on offer. Millwall’s threat has evaporated in the final third of late and they failed to score completely in a galling five of their last seven Championship fixtures. Each of Blackpool’s last three games in the division meanwhile, also featured two or fewer goals and on that evidence, bettors should expect a tussle of slender margins on Friday evening.

Player to Watch – Jordan Thorniley

Skipper Jordan Thorniley produced a captain’s performance for Blackpool at the weekend when the centre-half played a big part in The Seasiders’ 1-0 win at Birmingham.
