Blackpool Preview – Tangerines to extend undefeated run to 11?
After 34 games played, Neil Critchley’s Blackpool are sitting pretty in sixth spot. The Tangerines have picked up 16 wins, suffered ten defeats and drawn eight times. They have accumulated a respectable 56 points thus far.
Blackpool head into Saturday’s showdown on an impressive ten-game unbeaten run in League One. Since a 2-0 loss at Ipswich Town in early February, Pool have won six and drawn four to fire themselves into the top six. Blackpool have suffered just two league defeats since the turn of the year.
Last Tuesday, the Seasiders picked up a crucial win over promotion rivals Peterborough United, with Jerry Yates (2) and Luke Garbett on the scoresheet in a 3-1 victory at Bloomfield Road. Can Critchley’s troops follow that up with another three points on home turf at the weekend?
Plymouth Argyle Preview – Can the Pilgrims build on last week’s win?
Plymouth Argyle, who were promoted from EFL League Two last term, have had a steady season back in the third tier of English football. At the time of writing, Argyle are in 16th spot with 48 points to their name. Overall, the club from Home Park have won 13, drawn nine and lost 15.
Plymouth ended a horrid five-game losing streak with a vital victory over Bristol Rovers last weekend. Ryan Lowe’s boys were slipping down the League One table at an alarming rate of knots, losing successive games to Northampton Town, Doncaster Rovers, Wigan Athletic, Ipswich and MK Dons. The victory over Rovers was their first since 27th February.
