Preview: Blackpool vs. Watford

Blackpool vs. Watford

Blackpool will be hoping to add to their first point of the season when they host Watford in the Championship on Tuesday.

The Seasiders climbed off the bottom of the table at the weekend after sharing a goalless draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers, a result which ended a run of five straight defeats.

It is unlikely that Jose Cubero will be able to make his debut for the club on Tuesday, having missed out at the weekend while continuing to wait for his work permit to be finalised.

Jose Riga will be hoping that another positive result will end talk of him being replaced at Bloomfield Road.

Meanwhile, Watford head into the match after suffering just their second defeat of the season, which left them fourth in the table.

New manager Oscar Garcia will be hoping that the team can put their 1-0 defeat behind them quickly as they prepare for their second outing in three days.

Gianni Munari was missing at the weekend with a hamstring problem and is a doubt again for the trip to Blackpool, while Fernando Forestieri is struggling with the same injury.

However, defender Gabriel Tamas will be available, having served his suspension for being sent off last month.

Blackpool clinched a 1-0 win when the two teams met at Bloomfield Road last season.
