Cardiff City v Blackpool Odds: Tangerines Can win Championship Play Off Final

Cardiff City has been made favourites to beat Blackpool in the Championship Play-Off Final at Wembley this weekend. The Bluebirds are given best price odds of 13/10 by Bet365 while Ian Holloway’s Blackpool are rated at 21/10 with the draw a 23/10 option.

The match which carries a huge prize of promotion into the Premier League along with a reported £90m to the winners promises to be a real cut and thrust affair with the two sides being very evenly matched.

Cardiff arrived in the final after finishing 4th in the table and then defeating Leicester in the Play-Off Semi-Final on penalties. Blackpool on the other hand, managed 6th place in the League, but played ‘out of their skins’ to knock out Nottingham Forest in the Semi-Final winning both matches by the odd goal.

The two teams played out 1-1 draws in both of their league meetings this season, which suggests that this game could go all the way to penalties before a winner id decided. To make the match even more intriguing they both come into the game in great form. Blackpool particularly look extremely fired up and in on loan striker DJ Campbell, who scored a hat-trick against Forest in the Semi-Final, they have a potential match winner. Campbell in fact has great 17/2 odds from Bet365 to carry on where he left off against Forest and score the opening goal in this match.

Cardiff are no slouches in front of goal either, with Peter Whittingham, Michael Chopra and Jay Bothroyd all being regularly amongst the goals this season.

It is a very difficult match to call, but if momentum is anything to go by, then Blackpool look the team to be on. They came from nowhere into the Play-offs and started the season as one of the favoured teams to be relegated. With Ian Holloway at the helm they have generated fantastic belief and may just have the edge on overall desire. We therefore take them to win by a 1 goal margin and would probably back a 2-1 scoreline with bet 365 which carries excellent odds of 10/1.
