West Bromwich vs Blackpool

If logic, statistics, form, talent, support and even sheer passion mean anything* then Blackpool will win this football match.

The Seasiders are having an extraordinary season, currently lying ninth in the Premiership when they were roundly backed to be relegated. The team they are up against, West Brom are battling relegation themselves, only one point away from the bottom three.

In away matches Blackpool's form has been very good. No teams, except Arsenal and Manchester City, have scored more goals or gained more points away from home than Blackpool.

If we only take in to account away matches then Blackpool sit third in the Premiership. Looking at home matches, then West Brom still lie in sixteenth, still one point away from relegation.

WBA have also lost their last six matches - one in the FA Cup - and have only scored three goals in that period.

This season's earlier match up between these two was won by Blackpool, although West Brom had two men sent off so the match can not really be used as a fair guide.

I think Blackpool have enough to see past this West Brom side who will be without Stephen Reid for the next five weeks - a serious blow for the side.

Let's go!
