Competition: EFL Trophy
Market: Blackpool win
Odds: 4/7 @ 1xBet
Looking to punch their EFL Trophy semi-final ticket on Wednesday night, Blackpool will welcome Burton Bloomfield Road.
Starting with the hosts, snatching an FA Cup replay away at Premier League outfit Nottingham Forest over the weekend, Blackpool will be confident of making a statement here. Still with their sights set on securing an immediate Championship return in 2024, Neil Critchley’s men will be excited to make a return to Bloomfield Road on Wednesday night. Opening the New Year with a routine 2-0 victory against Lincoln, the one-time Liverpool coach has seen his squad gain a real reputation for their continued success on home soil. Including a 3-0 romp against Forest Green last month, the Seasiders have won all of their previous five showdowns in Lancashire by an aggregate score of 13-2. It should also be highlighted, Blackpool have collected 21 points from their last eight straight contests at Bloomfield Road across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to October 28th.
As for the visitors, suffering a collapse on home soil last weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate against Wycombe, Burton have continued on another League One struggle this season. Opening 2024 with a toothless display as they slumped to a 1-0 loss at the hands of Bolton, interim boss Gary Mills has seen his temporary squad win just a pair of their previous seven appearances across all competitions. Showing some rather glaring issues on the road, Burton will be facing a stern examination here. It should be highlighted, the Brewers have recorded just a single victory from any of their last nine showdowns away from the Pirelli Stadium – a run that stems all the way back to October 14th. Hit with a 2-0 loss when they last travelled to Bloomfield Road while in League One action back on August 5th, we are expecting a similar outcome in midweek.
Bet: Blackpool 4/7 to beat Burton in Wednesday’s EFL Trophy showdown @ 1xBet
