Game Analysis

  • The market expects a one-sided afternoon. Blackpool is the shortest price on a book of 1.36 / 4.33 / 6.5 (1 / X / 2), an implied 65.6%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 65.6% / 20.6% / 13.7% on an overround of 12.0%.

  • In the league table Blackpool sit 3rd on 1 point (0W 1D 1L) with Aston Villa Academy 4th on 0 points (0W 0D 2L).

  • Blackpool read L-W-L-L-D-L across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (1W 1D 4L) — poor.

  • Aston Villa Academy read L-L-L-L-L-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (1W 0D 5L) — a badly out of sorts side.

  • Head to head the record reads 0-1-0 — Blackpool wins, draws, then Aston Villa Academy wins. Their last meeting finished Blackpool - Aston Villa Academy: 1-1.

  • Blackpool lean hardest on Bailey Peacock-Farrell (9.5), Josh Bowler (9.5), Albie Morgan (9.5) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

  • The read: Blackpool at 1.36 is short enough that the value, if there is any, sits on the handicap or in the goals market rather than the outright.
