Lock It In: Blackpool - Sheff. Utd (Championship)
Pick 6: Sheffield United to win (1.84)
Risk 2 units
The Blades are sitting in 2nd place, just 3 points behind Burnley, and are marching towards direct promotion to EPL. On the other side, they're traveling to Blackpool's Bloomfield Road, who are in the relegation zone at 22nd place with just 25 points in 24 matches.
Sheffield are on a 4 win streak, and they're not looking like stopping is an option. On the Boxing Day they declassed Coventry with a 3-1 win - and they're looking to extend their winning streak to straight 5.
They're also on a 4-win streak on the road. Sheffield just doesn't care where they play, they're biting for all 3 points.
Blackpool are on an other side of spectrum. Placed 22nd, winless in last 7 matches (3D, 4L) and are grasping for any straw to keep themselves in Championship. However, this match might not be the case where they leave with smiles.
They've conceded 7 goals in last 5 Championship matches, and struggled against Hull on Boxing Day - who are also relegation zone team.
To say Blackpool is an easy win for Sheffield would be wrong, their H2H is not the brightest as Blackpool managed to keep Sheffield away from win in last 4 matches. However, their last game was a 6 goals draw thriller. However, we've seen an ugly end of that game. 3 red cards, penalty for Sheffield (missed) and then 98th minute equalizer for Sheffield.
I expect Sheffield to step up today, and bring all 3 points home.
