The72’s writers predict Peterborough United against Blackpool ahead of the League One match on Saturday afternoon.
Peterborough United come into this weekend’s clash with Blackpool in need of a win. They’ve seen their impressive unbeaten run collapse and they’ve now lost three on the trot in League One.
The Posh have slipped from 2nd to 5th as a result and are now seven points away from the automatic promotion spots.
Blackpool meanwhile are still on the fringes of the play-off fight, where they’ve been for much of the season. Neil Critchley’s side are 9th in the League One table, but a run of four without a win means they’re eight points from the top six.
The Tangerines’ dismal away form has done no help to their play-off bid. They’ve won two of their last eight away league games and have lost the other six without even scoring.
Here, a handful of our writers make their predictions for the game…
“Blackpool though have been pretty dismal on the road. At London Road, they will be in for another tough test, but they’re facing a side low on confidence, and that will be a cause for concern for the Posh.
“I can see someone’s poor end running here, and I can see it being the hosts’. I’ll say Posh win 2-1.”
