APWin Prediction

Under 2.5 Goals

APWin experts have analyzed the main betting markets and selected high-value bets.

👉 Our prediction is: Barnsley to win the 1st half

Barnsley is a tough opponent to face, particularly away from home. They have enough dangerous attacking weapons to deal some damage up front, while the defence is quite solid as well.

It would not be a shock if they come in and give their hosts Blackpool a bit of a scare in the early going.

That is why we recommend taking Barnsley to win the first half.

👉 Our prediction is: Over 2.5 goals in the match

Expect a good number of goals in this match.

We predict the total to reach over 2.5 goals after closely examining the numbers of Blackpool and Barnsley, who are among the better attacking sides in the league.
