Blackpool and Luton Town will battle for three points in an EFL Championship matchday 21 fixture on Saturday.
The two sides will be looking to get back to winning ways after five matches and four games without victories respectively.
The hosts come into the fixture on the back of a 1-0 defeat away to Birmingham City last weekend. Lukas Jutkiewicz scored the winning goal in the 81st minute after coming off the bench.
Luton Town fell to a 2-1 defeat against Cardiff City on home turf. Rubin Colwill and Sean Morrison scored in either half for the Welsh outfit.
Blackpool are 11th in the table with 27 points after 20 games. Luton are in 15th position gathering 25 points from the same number of games.

Blackpool vs Luton Town Prediction
The two sides' recent struggles mean that confidence might not be high among both sets of players. They are also not in immediate danger of relegation, although the congested nature of mid-table means a defeat could make things trickier for the loser.
Both sides have failed to hit the ground running in attack, suggesting that this could be a low-scoring game. Although one side could nick a win here, a goalless encounter is the most probable result.
Prediction: Blackpool 0-0 Luton Town
