Blackpool are looking to rise further away from the relegation zone in the Championship and this will inform their strategy for the home game against promotion-chasing Norwich City. Ahead of this game, Blackpool are 19th in the standings with 11 points, while Norwich are second on 20 points. Blackpool are coming from a 2-1 loss away to Millwall – their second straight defeat and third in four matches. They have one clean sheet and have conceded two or more goals in three of their last five matches, while they’ve failed to score in two of their last four games. In 10 league matches, Blackpool have conceded 15 goals and they will have to be at their defensive best to contain Norwich.
Norwich City are looking to go joint top with Sheffield United. They are three points behind the league leaders and go into this game unbeaten in their last seven league matches. With this momentum, Norwich will hold the favorites’ place in this clash. They ceded some ground in their chase in the last game as they played to a 1-1 draw at home to West Bromwich Albion. Ahead of that draw, they have registered six straight wins, and here they will be targeting a return to winning ways. In three of their last five matches, they’ve scored two or more goals and an area to improve on is the fact that they have managed just two clean sheets in the last five matches.
Norwich are unbeaten in their last seven league games and will go into this one confident, going by the two sides’ recent performances. Blackpool have struggled to keep clean sheets and have been conceding a lot. They will find it tough against Norwich and we are backing the away side to win here.
