Blackpool is on the run of poor results lately. Although they really play poorly, it is because of the "hospital" in the team from the northwest of England. Although they played 0-0 against Birmingham at their stadium and thus ended a streak of four defeats, the guests had a lot of chances and it is a real wonder how Blackpool took a point in this game. They will play today without several players, center-back Ekpiteta serves second of a two-match ban. Usual central defensive partner Thorniley unlikely to return here. That will be a big problem because the two of them played as a pair throughout the championship and we know how important it is for the stopper tandem to be coordinated. Important winger Anderson and valuable right-back Lawrence-Gabriel remain sidelined along with long-term absentees Stewart and Fiorini. A total of six players from the first team will not play today for Blackpool!!!

Cardiff returned from the international break with a solid 2-2 draw at Stoke last Saturday, following an entertaining encounter that swung both ways. It was a positive display in the first game of manager Hudson's permanent spell in charge. Cardiff is not playing great games this season, but they are currently in much better form than the visitors, they also managed to beat Aston Villa 3-1 in a friendly match, which certainly boosted the team's morale. Young striker Kio Etete scored a brace in that match and we can expect him in the starting eleven. All in all, Blackpool is coming with a lot of problems to Wales, where they have negative traditions. Only one win in the last 10 visits to Cardiff. Therefore, bet falls on Cardiff to win against injury-crippled guests.

布莱克浦最近成绩不佳。虽然他们真的踢得不好，那是因为“医院”里有来自英格兰西北部的球队。虽然他们在主场0-0击败伯明翰，结束了四连败，但客队有很多机会，这是一个真正的奇迹，布莱克浦是如何在这场比赛中拿到一分的。他们今天的比赛没有几名球员，中后卫埃克皮塔被禁赛两场。通常的中卫搭档索尼利不太可能回到这里。这将是一个大问题，因为他们两人在整个锦标赛中都是搭档，我们知道这对搭档的协调是多么重要。重要的边锋安德森和有价值的右后卫劳伦斯-加布里埃尔，以及长期缺席的斯图尔特和费奥里尼，仍然无法上场。一线队共有6名球员今天不会为布莱克浦出战!!

上周六，卡迪夫在国际比赛日结束后以2-2战平斯托克城，这是一场双方都很有趣的比赛。在哈德森执教的第一场比赛中，这是一个积极的表现。卡迪夫本赛季踢得并不好，但他们目前的状态比客队好得多，他们还在一场友谊赛中以3-1击败了阿斯顿维拉，这无疑提高了球队的士气。年轻的前锋吉奥·埃泰特在那场比赛中梅开二度，我们可以期待他出现在首发11人名单中。总而言之，布莱克浦给威尔士带来了很多问题，在那里他们有负面的传统。最近10次造访卡迪夫，只赢了一场。因此，赌局落在了卡迪夫队身上，他们将赢下受伤的客人。
