We say: Blackpool 2-1 Bristol City
Regardless of their form and lack of consistency, this is the kind of match that Bristol City will feel like they should be winning. However, we are backing the Seasiders to come through in a tight contest, keeping themselves interested in the playoff race in the process.

Hull City play host to Preston North End on Saturday afternoon looking to extend their winning streak in the Championship to four matches.
Their 13th-placed opponents are also in good form, putting together a three-game unbeaten streak to keep themselves as outsiders for the playoffs.
We say: Hull City 1-1 Preston North End
With both clubs enjoying some of their best form of the season, this has all the makings of an entertaining fixture. Hull are probably the marginal favourites to collect all three points, but we feel that Preston will do enough to earn a share of the spoils.

Blackburn Rovers make the long trip to Swansea City with the opportunity to move four points clear of third position in the Championship standings.
Meanwhile, the home side head into Saturday evening's contest on the back of three games without success, leaving them in 19th position.
We say: Swansea City 1-2 Blackburn Rovers
Martin is aware that he requires a performance out of his side if the pressure on his shoulders is to ease in the short term. However, we can only back the away team to prevail from this contest, albeit in a close game where they may have to rely on a late goal.
