Our Three Predictions For Blackpool FC vs Huddersfield Town
- Prediction 1 – Alfie May To Score – 13/8
- Prediction 2 – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 10/11
- Prediction 3 – Huddersfield Town To Win – 6/4
First Prediction For Blackpool FC vs Huddersfield Town – Alfie May To Score – 13/8
The former Charlton Athletic man opened his account for the club on the opening day of the season against Leyton Orient and despite being limited to just two shots against Reading he looked as dangerous as ever. With his minutes limited against Leicester City in midweek, it is to be expected that he starts at Bloomfield Road and once again be the focal point of Lee Grant’s attack. In 11 matches against the Seasiders, May has scored four times, including one during his last visit to Bloomfield Road with Birmingham City. With the attacking quality shown during the start of this season, the 32-year-old has a very good chance of adding to his tally again.
Second Prediction For Blackpool FC vs Huddersfield Town – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 10/11
It is early days in the season but Huddersfield’s attacking prowess has been on full display. They have seven goals in three matches so far this season and face a Blackpool side which have struggled defensively so far. The headline result for Steve Bruce’s side was their 4-1 loss to Exeter City, a team tipped to struggle in attack this season, which points to gaps that can be exploited by opponents. However, their forward output does need to be noted, with two goals against Stevenage courtesy of George Honeyman and Niall Ennis. The latter will be the focal point for the home side, with the former Stoke City man also given limited time in the midweek cup games.
Third Prediction For Blackpool FC vs Huddersfield Town – Huddersfield Town To Win – 6/4
With their displays so far this season, it is hard to look past Huddersfield Town in this game. Yet to concede in the league, Lee Grant’s side have been exceptional so far and are living up to the billing as title favourites in League One. Having brought down arguably the best team relegated from the Premier League last season in Leicester, they will be full of confidence and will field a strong eleven with key players rested. It has been a tough start to the season for Blackpool and with the struggles they have had so far, there is no sign of them stopping in this match-up at least.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Blackpool have had a rough start to the season, with the Tangerines yet to pick up a win in their three games. They were close in their opening day bow against Stevenage, but were unable to overcome a 3-1 deficit despite a Niall Ennis goal giving Bloomfield Road hope. Their second league game was much worse, with Exeter City dominating Steve Bruce’s side in Devon. Their most recent match saw them knocked out of the EFL Cup at the hands of Port Vale in midweek. Dale Taylor is in line for his Legaue One debut for the club in this game, after a registration issue kept the former Wigan Athletic man out of their Exeter City game.
Huddersfield Town meanwhile have had the inverse start to their hosts this weekend, with a perfect run of results. They have handily beaten Leyton Orient and Reading, two promotion hopefuls, without conceding and claimed the biggest scalp possible in the first round of the EFL Cup by beating Leicester City at home on penalties. Daniel Vost and Cameron Ashia both leveled the game against the Foxes, and then beat them 3-2 on penalties with Lee Nichols saving two to win the shootout for the Terriers.
Blackpool and Huddersfield have been regular opponents in both the Championship and League One over recent seasons. The Seasiders had the number of the West Yorkshire side across both matches last season, with a 2-0 win away from home before drawing 2-2 at Bloomfield Road in their most recent contest. Since 2012, Huddersfield hold a slight advantage over Blackpool in their record, with four wins to three, and five draws contested.
The referee for this game is Elliot Bell, who has refereed three times so far this season in the Championship, League One and the EFL Cup. His most recent game saw Cardiff City beat Swindon Town on Tuesday night, with three yellow cards and no red cards handed out.
