Cardiff to take all three points
Blackpool have had a relatively better season than Cardiff so far, however, it's worth noting that Blackpool have won 11 games this season, and only three of those wins were away from home. As a matter of fact, Blackpool have no wins in their last seven road games in all competitions. On the other hand, Cardiff have enjoyed a good run of form; they've won four of their last five league games, and they've won their last three home games. Also, Cardiff have had Blackpool's number in recent encounters; they won four of their last five meetings with Blackpool. With this in mind, we're making the prediction that Cardiff will take all three points from this game.
Back both teams to score
These are two teams that have scored goals consistently this season. Blackpool found the back of the net in all of their last 10 games across all competitions; conversely, they haven't been able to keep the goals out. Blackpool have conceded in their last four, and 12 of their last 14 games. Similarly, Cardiff have scored their fair share of goals; they found the net in all of their last seven games. Moreover, clashes between these teams have produced a lot of goals; as both teams scored in seven of their last 10 meetings. On that note, we believe that both teams will score.

Cardiff vs Blackpool: It's predicted lineup time
Football is funny, isn't it? People praise the season Blackpool have had but criticise Cardiff's campaign. Well, if the Bluebirds win this game they will be just three points south of the Seasiders. Still, suppose they lose, that six point gap will become nine and things will look poor for Cardiff – even if they will stay up.
Cardiff Predicted Lineup
Cardiff continued their good run of form by defeating Coventry a few days ago; they have now won four of their last five league games. Steve Morison's men have won all of their last three home games; they'll be eyeing their fourth consecutive home win as Blackpool come visiting.
Predicted lineup – Smithies, Drameh, Ng, Flint, McGuiness, Bagan, King, Wintle, Vaulks, Watters, Davies.
Blackpool Predicted Lineup
Blackpool have had some mixed results recently; they have two wins, two draws and two losses in their last six games across all competitions. Neil Critchley's men are currently on a seven match winless streak on the road; they'll hope to put an end to that unwanted streak as they take on Cardiff.
Predicted lineup – Grimshaw, Lawrence-Gabriel, Ekpiteta, Thorniley, Sterling, Bowler, Connolly, Stewart, Hamilton, Madine, Yates.
