In this 12th week match, on Sat Oct 1st, Blackpool hosts Norwich City at Bloomfield Road in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Championship teams. Weather on match day is looking like a windy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 13 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. 19th placed Blackpool is fresh off their 1-2 loss against Millwall. Daniel Grimshaw scored the first goal for Millwall on an own goal in the 14th minute, then Charlie Patino tied it up for Blackpool in the 33rd minute. Blackpool is looking for direction having 3 win and 5 losses in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Norwich City recorded a 1-1 draw against West Bromwich Albion. Dara O’Shea struck first for West Bromwich Albion in the 9th minute, then in the 68th minute, Teemu Pukki sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Sam Byram earning them at least the one point. Norwich City should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 20 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Norwich City is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Josh Sargent and Teemu Pukki each having 3 goals in their last 5. Theo Corbeanu has been the most prolific scorer on Blackpool in the last five matches with 2 goals.
