Blackpool Preview – Can the Tangerines end winless run?
Blackpool made a slow start to life back in the Championship, losing three and drawing two of the opening five. However, a 1-0 win over title favourites Fulham in September was a real turning point.
From mid-September to late October, Pool fired themselves up the Championship table with a string of wins. After seeing off Fulham, the Seasiders beat Middlesbrough, Barnsley, Blackburn Rovers, Reading, Preston North End and Sheffield United. After the victory at Bramall Lane, Blackpool moved into the top six.
They have been in poor form since, though, failing to win any of the last seven. After three draws on the spin, Neil Critchley’s side head into Saturday’s game having lost three in a row. They will be desperate for all three points from this one.
Peterborough United Preview – Can Posh build on Millwall win?
Peterborough United, who were also promoted from EFL League One last term, have had a difficult return to the Championship up until now. After 22 games played, Posh have won five, drawn four and lost 13. They have spent most of the season in the bottom three.
After five losses and two draws from their previous seven Championship affairs, Peterborough picked up a massive three points last time out. They fell behind to Millwall early on, but an own goal and a Jonson Clarke-Harris strike turned the game on its head in three second-half minutes.
