On the 18th of March, in this week 38 match, Blackpool will host Coventry City in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Championship teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 8 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. Blackpool sits at 22nd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 6-1 blowout win against Queens Park Rangers. Jerry Yates struck first for Blackpool in the 3rd minute on a penalty kick, then Andy Lyons added another in the 11th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while coventry City is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Wigan Athletic. Viktor Gyökeres struck first for Coventry City in the 52nd minute on a feed from Jake Bidwell, then Kyle McFadzean tied it up for Wigan Athletic on an own goal in the 83rd minute earning Wigan Athletic a comeback draw. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Coventry City should be reasonably happy with their performance.
