Blackpool will host Hull City at Bloomfield Road on Wednesday (October 19) night in the Championship.
The Seasiders have had mixed results this season but have begun picking up points as they seek to stave off another impending relegation battle. They played out a tense and highly entertaining 3-3 draw against Sheffield United in their last game. Blackpool overturned a two-goal deficit to take the lead before being pegged back deep in injury time. They are 19th in the standings with 16 points.
Hull, meanwhile, have struggled this season, prompting the dismissal of manager Shota Arveladze. Andy Dawson has been handed an interim manager role but has failed to turn things around. Most recently, he oversaw a 2-0 loss to Birmingham City as the Tigers continue their search for a new permanent boss.
The visitors are 21st in the league table with 14 points from as many games. They are just one point above the drop zone.

Blackpool vs Hull City Prediction
Blackpool are on a three-game unbeaten run after losing four of their five games before that. They have, however, won just one of their last six games at home and could struggle here.
Hull, meanwhile, are on a run of back-to-back defeats and have lost seven of their last eight league games. They have lost their last four away outings on the bounce and are winless on the road this season.
The hosts should take all three points, as they are in better form than their opponents.
