Blackpool to win
We kick off our predictions for this match by backing Blackpool to win. Blackpool have shown some good form of late losing just one of their last five games whilst taking 10 points from the other 12 available in that run. By stark contrast, West Brom have managed to win just one of their past five games amassing just four points from the five matches. What's even more worrying for the Baggies is that they're winless in six home games and have taken just two points from those games. There is little reason to be optimistic about their fortunes here.
Backing both sides to score
West Brom have only seen both teams score in one of their last five matches but we don't see this game featuring a clean sheet for either side hence we're betting on ‘yes' in the both teams to score market. The Baggies form doesn't support such a bet but Blackpool's form contrasts that massively with each of their last five games seeing goals at both ends. If that's the statistical leveller then the head to head record swings things in favour of the ‘yes' with four of the last five meetings featuring goals for both teams.

Can West Brom break losing run?
Blackpool aren't exactly pulling up trees this season but, boy, do things look brighter for the Seasiders than they do for the Baggies. West Brom sacked Steve Bruce for a poor start to the campaign but, in truth, things have turned even worse since his departure. They're now rooted to the foot of the table having suffered three straight defeats. Even if they win this game, they'll still be five points off their visitors – and they're only in 15th place!
West Brom's form has been woeful but with just Semi Ajayi and Daryl Dike, who are both long term absentees, on the sidelines they don't have much of an excuse for the shoddy results. Can Jake Livermore earn them a foothold in this game?
West Brom Predicted lineup – Palmer, Furlong, O'Shea, Pieters, Phillips, Livermore, Gardner-Hickman, Townsend, Diangana, Wallace, Grant
Blackpool are in a nice run of form right now and they'll be hoping to build on that here with Jerry Yates, who has six goals in his last five games, their key man. Liam Bridcutt, Keshi Anderson and Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel are all out.
Blackpool Predicted lineup – Maxwell, Husband, Ekpiteta, Connolly, Patino, Dougall, Carey, Madine, Yates, Hamilton
