Blackpool showed a strong game last season, and during the summer training program there was a match with the Premier League Manchester City, where they lost 4:1, but still managed to score against the finalist in the Champions League. In this match, the team of Nick Crichley did not report any injured and absent players, as the new addition Grimshaw is more likely to remain among the reserves in this match, and the starter will be Josh Bowler. The team hired by Arsenal Tyreece John-Jules will be on reserve bench, but can also be seen in one of the next matches. Strong play of Blackpool in the lower division, but here the class of the teams is different, so this will be the first test of the coach in the Championship.

Bristol City kept their place in the league, but their last matches were not at high level. Of the last 5 games in the Championship, they have recorded 5 losses, and probably took a break at the end of the season given the lead they had from the relegation line. Now, however, they must mobilize and show their capabilities against the rookie in the championship. Matty James and Andy King are expected to be in the starting lineup, as well as Chris Martin in the front line. Tomas Kalas will also join the starting eleven, following his participation in Euro 2020 for the Czech team.

Prediction – both teams to score –  1.92 from 22bet

Coventry is in 21st place with 39 points from 38 games, and below the line are Rotherham with 35 points. In their last 5 matches, they have 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 losses, as they have scored 3 goals in their last 7 matches and this shows a low performance in the last matches. The team must do everything possible to win this match or at least end in a draw, because there are chances to stay in the division, given the point asset.

Bristol City is in the middle of the table, with 49 points, 14 more than the team below the relegation line. The guests in this match made a very good start in the Championship, after 4 wins and 1 loss in their first 5 matches, but then they allowed a drop in form and still will probably finish the season in the middle of the standings. The first 6 teams are quite a big difference in front of them, so this season they will hardly be able to join the battle for the places eligible to participate in the playoffs.

Prediction –  home win or draw with odd 1.29 from 22bet
