PREVIEW
If the two league meetings are anything to go by, Blackpool have an almighty challenge ahead of them if they are to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking. Ian Holloway will believe his Blackpool side have every chance of beating West Ham as they’ve been here and done it before in a memorable final with Cardiff.

West Ham finally looked like the side they were billed to be over the two legs against Cardiff. The Hammers were totally dominant in their 5-0 aggregate win and it will have left Sam Allardyce wondering how they didn’t finish in the automatic promotion places.

Allardyce will be telling his players not to get ahead of themselves on the back of the two convincing league wins against Blackpool during the season. Since 2010 the clubs have met four times and the Hammers have won three of those and drawn once – scoring 11 goals.

The Tangerines just edged out Birmingham to book their place at Wembley, but they’ll need to tighten up at the back. In 2010 they beat Cardiff 3-2 and Holloway will remind his players that anything can happen in 90 minutes. The problem Holloway faces is that his squad is far smaller than West Ham and the two tough games against Blues means they’ll likely be some tired legs.

West Ham are finally beginning to click and they have the pedigree of players to gain promotion within 90 minutes at around 1.98 on BETDAQ.

RECOMMENDATION: (1-10 points)
Back West Ham at 1.98: 7 points

Thursday Return: +0.00
MAY RETURN TO DATE: +18.45
