Blackpool Team News
Blackpool is in 23rd place in the table but still has a chance to avoid relegation. Four rounds left until the end, and Cardiff, in the safe zone, has only four more points and a game less.
The previous match was significant for the host. They defeated last-placed Wigan and extended their chances of survival. It was Blackpool’s first win after four consecutive defeats that have put them in a difficult position. After the WBA, Blackpool has away games against Birmingham, Norwich, and Millwall at home until the end of the season.
Three of these four rivals are in the top half of the table and fighting for the Playoffs, so Blackpool will have difficulty avoiding relegation to English League One. The home team will have to play better than in the match with Wigan to win points against a motivated WBA.
Back the lads at Bloomfield Road again on Tuesday evening for the visit of West Brom! Tickets remain on sale.

West Brom Team News
West Brom is in 11th place in the table but with a game less than their rivals. If they win that match, they would reach 6th place. The WBA controls its destiny until the end of the season. If they played the next five games, like against Stoke last week, they will surely reach the Playoffs and have a great chance to return to the Premier League.
A mini-series of bad results before the victory over Stoke contributed to WBA losing the chances of fighting for the first two places and direct placement in the elite rank. Out of a possible 12 points, they won only three. In the match against QPR, they lost a 2:0 lead and finished 2:2. They led 1:0 and against Cardiff in a game that ended 1:1, while they were surprisingly defeated by Rotherham 3:1.
It remains to see whether the victory in the previous round restored confidence in West Brom and whether they can return from this visit with three points.

Blackpool vs West Brom Prediction
Both teams have an imperative to win this match. Quality and experience are on the guests’ side, and we give them the advantage in this duel. However, Blackpool has shown that they can score against any rival, while on the other hand, WBA has had defensive problems in the last few rounds.
Although Blackpool beat Wigan in the previous round, we believe that WBA are a much better rival and will return undefeated from this away game.
