Blackpool and Stoke to Draw
While Stoke is far from great form at the moment, they have done significantly better than Blackpool recently and this entire season overall, as Blackpool is sitting in the last place in the standings.
Despite that, with Blackpool hosting the game, we can see them avoiding a loss in this match, so our first Blackpool vs Stoke prediction is for the game to end without a winner.
Under 2.5 Total Goals
All four previous h2h meetings between Blackpool and Stoke have gone under 2.5 total goals and we can see that happening once again when they meet on Saturday.
Furthermore, Blackpool averaged 2.52 goals per game in the league this season, while Stoke averaged 2.39 goals per game in Championship so far, which is why our second Blackpool vs Stoke prediction is under 2.5 total goals.

Blackpool – Stoke Preview: Latest Form, Team News, and Predicted Lineups
You can check out all the latest injury reports and other information about teams here, including our predicted Blackpool vs Stoke lineups.
Blackpool
It's been a while since Blackpool won their last match in Championship as the team is currently on a winless streak of fourteen games in the league. So, it's hardly surprising to see Blackpool sitting in the last place in the standings. That being said, they still have a chance to survive this season if they can find a way to win some games soon.
Meanwhile, Tom Trybull, Charlie Goode, Marvin Ekpiteta, Liam Bridcutt, Lewis Fiorini, Keshi Anderson, and Kevin Stewart are all out with injuries, while Gary Madine is suspended right now.
Blackpool Predicted Lineup:
Maxwell – Lyons, Connolly, Thorniley, Husband – Patino, Dougall – Bowler, Carey, Poveda-Ocampo – Yates
Stoke
In the last six matches in the Championship, Stoke has two wins, one draw, and three losses, so they've clearly been pretty inconsistent in recent matches in the league. On the bright side, Stoke did win in their last game and thanks to that, they are now seven points ahead of the first team in the relegation zone.
When it comes to team news, Stoke will miss Josh Tymon, Connor Taylor, and Sam Clucas through injuries in the next game.
Stoke Predicted Lineup:
Sarkic – Wilmot, Jagielka, Fox – Hoever, Baker, Laurent, Sterling – Campbell, Brown, Celina
Starting Lineups

Player to Watch: Tyrese Campbell
Since both teams are far from having a good season in Championship, not many players from these sides have stood up so far. Still, we decided to go with Tyrese Campbell as our player to watch in this game.
The young English forward certainly has the ability to decide a game with his talent, but he didn't do that great of a job so far for Stoke as he only scored five goals in 27 Championship games this season. Despite that, Blackpool needs to keep him in mind in this duel.
