THE PREDICTION
One game into the new campaign and Michael O’Neill is already under huge pressure at Stoke following their meek 2-0 defeat away to Millwall. This could therefore prove an uncomfortable atmosphere for the Potters at the Bet365 Stadium against Blackpool side who triumphed here last season and know that if they can keep the Potters out early on, the crowd will start to turn. The Seasiders were tipped to struggle in 2022-23 following the departure of Neil Critchley, but Michael Appleton is an excellent coach in his own right and got off to a winning start last Saturday. They kept a clean sheet in that one and could well frustrate the hosts here by maintaining a solid defensive shape with plenty of bodies behind the ball. When factoring in how poor Stoke looked against Millwall, Blackpool are more than capable of picking up at least a point here if not all three, so back this outcome via the double chance market.
