Crystal Palace vs Blackpool Prediction 23 August 2016

Tournament: EFL Cup
Location: Selhurst Park
Match date: 08/23/2016 at 19:30

Crystal Palace take on Blackpool at Selhurst Park in the second round of the EFL Cup.

Despite poor performance in the previous season when Crystal Palace finished on 15th spot in the EPL, Pardew’s side managed to reach Englash FA Cup final. Unfortunately, the Eagles failed to beat Manchester United (1:2). This season, Alan Pardew’s men had a rough start as they lost to West Bromwich Albion and Tottenham (0:1 both). Remarkably, Crystal Palace have recently signed Liverpool’s Benteke as he is set to solve Eagles’ problem on the end of the spear.

Due to miserable performance last season, Blackpool have been relegated to the Sky Bet League 2. Gary Bowyer’s men started new season with 2:0 victory over Exeter City and beat Bolton 4:2 in the EFL Cup. However, things went downhill as the visitors lost to Morecambe, tied Barnet and Wycombe Wanderers.

Interestingly, Blackpool have advantage over Crystal Palace in the head-to-head record. In their last matchup Blackpool managed to beat Crystal Palace 1:0 in 2013. However, things have changed and the Eagles are favorites of this match. Blackpool keep on falling as they League 2 side. We are sticking with the hosts.
