Match highlights
PremiumMatch analysis
Blackpool put four goals past Peterborough in their last outing, and that kind of firepower underpins Superior's Over 1.5 goals pick in Barnsley vs Blackpool on 2 September at 1.25, rated 60 percent. Barnsley have scored in four of their last five matches, including a 3-1 win away at Leyton Orient.
Blackpool scored four in their last match
Blackpool's recent form has swung between extremes, a 4-0 win over Peterborough and a 6-3 win over Everton's under-21 side either side of a 1-4 defeat to Lincoln, thirteen goals scored across their last three matches. Barnsley have been steadier but still productive, winning 3-1 at Leyton Orient and 3-2 at home to Crewe, an attacking record that fits comfortably alongside Blackpool's for a game likely to produce goals.
Barnsley drew 0-0 with Doncaster only ten days ago
The way this loses is a repeat of Barnsley's 0-0 draw with Doncaster, the one match in their recent run that produced nothing at all, or their 0-1 home defeat to Bromley the week before that. Blackpool's away form has also been shakier than their home scoring, losing 1-4 at Lincoln, so if both sides land on a quiet day at the same time the way Barnsley already has twice this run, the total could stall below 1.5 rather than clear it.
