Blackpool to win
Both teams have had similar results in recent weeks; they both have two wins, a draw and two losses in their last five respective games. However, it's worth mentioning that Blackpool have had a relatively better campaign than Peterborough; as a matter of fact, Blackpool have 16 wins in 45 league games, which is twice as many wins as Peterborough have this season. Also, Peterborough tend to fall short whenever they go up against Blackpool; they lost all of their last four clashes with Blackpool, with just one win in their last eight encounters. All things considered, Blackpool should win this game.
Don't bank on goals
Peterborough have been one of the lowest-scoring teams in the Championship; only last-placed Barnsley have scored fewer goals than Peterborough this season. Grant McCann's men have had their fair share of low-scoring games; they did not score in their last two games, with four of their last six games going under 2.5. Just like Peterborough, Blackpool have not scored a lot of goals this season; as they've scored just 1.2 goals per game on average. Like Peterborough, Blackpool's games have mostly been on the low-scoring side; their last three, and five of their last seven games went below the 2.5 goal line. On that note, this will likely be a low-scoring affair.
