Blackpool v Exeter Betting Tips

The Tangerines have the chance to start winding their way back up the football tiers. But they won’t have full backing at Wembley as the Blackpool Supporters Trust are boycotting the game in protest of how their club is being ran by owners the Oyston family. Their end of the season has been pretty exciting as they booked a play-off spot on the final day of league action with a 3-1 home win over Leyton Orient, and then they were in a huge battle with Luton in their play-off semi-final but stuck in there for a 6-5 aggregate win. Blackpool have scored three goals exactly in four of their last five games played now and over 2.5 goals at William Hill is running at price of 4/5. There should be goals in this as Exeter too had a high-scoring battle in their play-off semi-final.

Blackpool edged things over the two league meetings this season against Exeter by taking four points from the two games. They have a bit of head to head form against the Grecians, going W3 D1 L1 in their last five against them. Both teams to score in the match at William Hill is a price of 4/6 and neither defence is likely to stand up to the pressure of their opponent’s attack. So this should be an entertaining final. Blackpool have good attacking options in Mark Cullen, Nathan Delfouneso and Armand Gnanduillet and the former two are 15/8 anytime goalscorer options, with the latter at 9/4. But with neither defence being able to be really trusted, the Grecians may have the edge with their attacking quality.

Ollie Watkins is a 7/4 outright favourite in the William Hill anytime goalscorer market with Reuben Reid at 15/8 and there is David Wheeler and Ryan Harley as threats as well. They also won their play-off semi final by a 6-5 aggregate as they battled their way past Carlise. Perhaps importantly though looking ahead to the final, they were never behind in the semi-final tie. The Grecians have scored three goals in four of their last five games and at least two in eight of their last ten. That may just tip the balance in favour of them and in the William Hill correct score market an Exeter 2-1 punt is a 9/1 price. Exeter at 5/6 to lift the trophy with Blackpool at Even money.
