Blackpool Preview – Can Blackpool pick up first win?

Blackpool opened their account in their new Championship campaign with a well-earned point away from home at Bristol City as they held The Robins to a 1-1 draw at Ashton Gate upon their return to the English second tier.

Blackpool gained promotion from League One at the end of last season when they beat Lincoln City 2-1 in the play-off final, and The Seasiders will be eager to collect their first win of the season at Bloomfield Road on Wednesday night.

However, goals could be a little thin on the ground as six of Blackpool’s last 10 matches at home have resulted in under 2.5 goals, while three of the previous four meetings against Middlesbrough have resulted in under 2.5 goals as well.

Middlesbrough Preview – Can Boro continue on from pre-season?

Middlesbrough also gained a point on the opening day of the new Championship season on the weekend when they held Fulham to a 1-1 draw away at Craven Cottage as Boro continued their promising form form the pre-season games.

Middlesbrough lost just one of the five pre-season games they played and the solid point against one of the pre-season favourites for promotion, Fulham, will have pleased Middlesbrough manager, Neil Warnock.

Five of Middlesbrough’s last 10 away matches in the Championship have resulted in under 2.5 goals while five of their last 10 EFL Cup tis away from home have also gone to either extra-time or penalties.
