Our prediction for this League 1 match:

Blackpool

Blackpool

Crawley

Crawley

Following four consecutive draws in League One, Blackpool will look to return to winning ways when they face Crawley Town on Matchday 33. The Seasiders are eager to move closer to the playoffs berth and they have no other option but to go all guns blazing at Crawley. Forward Ashley Fletcher is widely expected to start this time out after scoring as a substitute in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Mansfield Town.

The Red Devils, meanwhile, are sitting in the relegation zone with 29 points on their account. Crawley Town are unbeaten in the last three league games, but given their poor away record (3-3-10) in the 2024/2025 season, home win should be considered. The good news for the away team is that talented midfielder Bradley Ibrahim returns from suspension. The likes of Josh Flint, Joy Mukena, and Ryan Sandford are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.

Highlighted Team (Blackpool):

Blackpool

Blackpool FC are a professional English club based in Blackpool, Lancashire. Considering that Blackpool is a seaside town, it is no surprise they are nicknamed the Seasiders. Founded back in 1887, the club play their home matches at Bloomfield Road, which can hold up to 17,338 spectators. In the 2009/2010 season Blackpool secured promotion to the Premier League, but they were not competitive at this level, suffering relegation to the Championship the following season.

The club’s biggest success, though, came in 1953 when they defeated Bolton Wanderers 4-3 in the FA Cup final. Blackpool are well known for their orange shirts, but the dominant colour of their away kit is white. Preston are considered the club’s biggest rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the West Lancashire derby.

Charlie Adam, who played for Liverpool and has 26 caps for Scotland national team, is regarded as one of the club’s most notable players.
