Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects goals at the Abbey.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Over 3.5 goals | 9/5 (10bet) | Clean sheets have been a rarity for both of these teams. Cambridge are yet to shut anyone out in eight games, conceding 11, while Blackpool have scored 13 but also leaked 13, so goals follow them around. Both sides carry attacking threat. With neither back line reliable, over 3.5 goals is the obvious angle, and 9/5 is a fair price for a contest that should flow freely at the Abbey. |
| Cambridge United and both teams to score | 11/4 (William Hill) | Cambridge have made a solid start and sit sixth, but they concede as readily as they score, which makes a clean sheet unlikely against a Blackpool side that always finds the net. A home win in which the visitors also score fits the pattern of both teams’ campaigns, and with Cambridge dangerous at the Abbey they should edge a goal-filled game. The 11/4 about Cambridge winning with both teams scoring captures the likely shape of an entertaining afternoon. The U’s have found the net in seven of their eight games. |
