Premier League betting – Blackpool vs Man Utd

Blackpool vs Man Utd betting preview

Blackpool League Position: 11th League Form: LLWLL

Blackpool may be going through a bad patch at the moment, suffering unlucky defeats to away at Sunderland and West Brom, but they are still looking like a stable Premier League team. One positive that definitely can be gained from the last two games is that while there is a lot of transfer speculations about Charlie Adam, his performances on the pitch are definitely not suffering. Another player who is consistently putting in a good shift for the Seasiders is striker DJ Cambell, who leads the clubs scoring charts with 7 goals. While Manchester United are far from opponents who are easy to score against, it is surely worth a look in at 3.75 on William Hill and BetFred for DJ to score at any time in the fixture.

Over the season Blackpool have produced a lot of goals in their games, due to their flamboyant attacking style of play, but also due to this they have shipped a lot of goals as well and so this makes a bet on both teams scoring in this fixture at odds of 1.8 on Stan James a promising one definitely. Blackpool are not missing any key personnel and therefore should be able to field a strong line-up against the league leaders on Tuesday and hopefully end their unbeaten run.

Manchester United League Position: 1st League Form: DWWDW

Manchester United are looking more the complete package every week and if they keep putting in performances like this weekend’s against Birmingham, they will be champions by April. However Ferguson’s men don’t look invincible yet and its fixtures like this one, away at Blackpool where United gave often faltered earlier in the season.

Dimitar Berbatov and veteran winger Ryan Giggs were in superb form at Old Trafford at the weekend and if they bring the same kind of performance as they did then to Bloomfield Road this could be a very bad day for Blackpool. Berbatov stands on 17 goals this season and is leading the race for the golden boot and is therefore great value at odds of 4.5 in Stan James to open the scoring. United netted 5 goals at the weekend and it can be expected that they will score a few in this fixture against the fragile Blackpool backline, so a bet on a Manchester United 4-1 victory at odds of 21.0 on SkyBet
