Blackpool vs Burnley expert tips

Burnley has remained undefeated against the Seasiders in their previous five games, securing four wins and a draw since December 2013. They have also emerged victorious in their last three visits to Bloomfield Road. Despite languishing in the relegation zone, Blackpool faces the daunting challenge of taking on an in-form Burnley side that has been performing exceptionally well. As a result, a one-sided contest may transpire, with the Clarets likely to secure all three points. Considering the history of face-to-face matchups between the two teams, where both sides have scored less than 2.5 goals, it is likely that we can expect the same in this upcoming match.
