Anyone got any thoughts on the promotion playoff final today between Blackpool and Cardiff?
I really love Blackpool here, you can get an excellent price on them, ML +224 and they are in red hot form at the moment. Going away to Forest, scoring 4 goals and beating them is a fine achievement when you consider that Forest has a such good home record.
Cardiff sort of stumbled their way into the final after a home loss to Leicester, conceding 3 goals at home to a team that doesn't have a great attack is a bit concerning. Blackpool is a team that likes to attack and they'll be able to exploit any defensive weaknesses.
Blackpool can also let in a few goals themselves and they sometimes struggle to contain pacy strikers. Bothroyd will be a real asset for Cardiff because he can take advantage of any lack of pace in the backline, if Blackpool pushes up too high in defence.
But I suppose this is a final so you can probably throw the form book out the window because anything can happen in a one off final. Still, I'm leaning towards Blackpool and I really like the +224 odds that you can get.
