Blackpool desperately need points on Friday, Jan 8 at 9:00 PM in the League 1. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Burton Albion come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Blackpool travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Burton Albion won their last outing, while Blackpool suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Despite playing at home, Burton Albion face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Blackpool have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Burton Albion won 0–1.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Burton Albion a slight edge, but Blackpool are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
