Kick-off time: 15:00
Venue: Sixfields Stadium

In this Northampton v Blackpool preview, we look ahead to an exciting encounter at Sixfields Stadium, with both teams aiming to secure valuable points in the race for survival and promotion. Northampton Town come into this match full of confidence following their recent draw against league leaders Birmingham City, while Blackpool travel south in search of a much-needed bounce back after their recent defeat to Leyton Orient. With both teams having their own strengths and weaknesses, we dive deep into the team news, betting tips, and predictions for this clash.

Northampton Town vs Blackpool Team News

Northampton Town have made significant strides under manager Kevin Nolan. The Cobblers come into this match on the back of a hard-fought draw against Birmingham City. Despite sitting in 19th place, the team has gained points in 11 of their 16 matches under Nolan’s management. Key players like Dara Costelloe, Sam Hoskins, and Tyler Roberts will be key to their attacking threat. However, Northampton’s defensive record has been less than stellar, having kept only two clean sheets in their last ten matches.

For Blackpool, manager Steve Bruce will be hoping his side can recover from a disappointing 3-2 defeat to Leyton Orient, which has effectively ended their hopes of reaching the playoffs. Blackpool have struggled with consistency, but with players like Sonny Carey, Niall Ennis, and the returning Tom Bloxham, they still possess plenty of attacking talent. The Tangerines will be looking to bounce back and regain their form for the remainder of the season.

Northampton Town vs Blackpool Betting Tips

When assessing the Northampton v Blackpool betting options for this match, there are a few key factors to consider. Northampton Town will look to build on their confidence from the Birmingham City draw, but their recent inconsistency makes them unpredictable. Blackpool, on the other hand, have been inconsistent as well but still have enough attacking threats to cause trouble for the Cobblers.

Sonny Carey has been in superb form, scoring four goals in his last three matches. His newfound freedom under Steve Bruce has allowed him to showcase his attacking ability, and with Tom Bloxham returning from injury, Carey could be a key figure in Blackpool’s attacking setup. Expect him to have several chances in this match and, given his form, he is likely to add to his tally.

Northampton Town vs Blackpool Match Predictions

For the Northampton v Blackpool match prediction, we consider the current form and overall performances of both teams. Northampton Town have shown resilience under Kevin Nolan and will look to capitalise on Blackpool’s shaky form. However, Blackpool’s attacking quality, particularly with Sonny Carey in form, could prove to be the difference. Given the unpredictability of both teams and their recent form, we predict a draw to be the most probable result, although a narrow win for either side cannot be ruled out.

Match Prediction: Draw. Bet with bet365.

Northampton Town vs Blackpool Correct Score Tips & Predictions

In terms of Northampton v Blackpool correct score predictions, a 1-1 draw seems to be a sensible option based on the teams’ recent form.

Correct Score Prediction: 1-1. Bet with bet365.

Northampton Town vs Blackpool Over & Under Goals Betting Tips

With both teams having vulnerabilities in defence and attacking players capable of scoring, the Over/Under 2.5 goals market is one to watch. Northampton Town have conceded in eight of their last ten matches, and Blackpool, despite being more solid at the back, have still been involved in high-scoring games. Given their attacking prowess, particularly from players like Carey and Costelloe, our Northampton v Blackpool over/under goals prediction is that this match will feature over 2.5 goals.

Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
