Our next match prediction sees League One action as Blackpool host Cardiff City in a game that affects the top and bottom of the table. The Seasiders sacked Steve Bruce a while back, appointing Ian Evatt in his place and results have improved of late. For the visiting Bluebirds, the game offers an opportunity to continue their battle for top spot.
Currently, the League One table makes bleak reading for Blackpool. They lie 23rd in the table with just 12 points from 14 games played and have just one win in their last six league games. In contrast, Cardiff City lie third in the table with 26 points from 13 games, a point behind Bradford and two behind leaders Stockport County, but with a game in hand on both.
One positive for Blackpool is that they are now unbeaten in their last four games, winning three. That started with a 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest's U21s in the Football League Trophy and then a 1-1 draw at home to Wycombe followed by a 2-1 win away to Peterborough United. They then beat Scunthorpe 1-0 in the FA Cup at home last weekend.
Cardiff's current form sees them having earned a 2-1 win over Reading in the league but they then followed that with a 1-0 defeat away to Bolton Wanderers. They did earn an excellent 2-1 win away at Wrexham in the Carabao Cup but last weekend were surprisingly beaten 1-0 away by Peterborough United in the FA Cup.

Our Blackpool vs Cardiff Prediction
Our prediction for the Blackpool vs. Cardiff City League One match is: A Draw.
A glance at the league table would suggest a win for Cardiff in this game, but recent form tells a different tale. Blackpool are unbeaten in their last four games, winning three, but they face a Cardiff City team with an excellent away record in League One this season, especially defensively. The data suggests a win for either team looks a tough ask here, hence we are going to predict a draw.
