Blackpool
The start of the season proved to be unfavorable for the coastal side; however, as winter approached, the team's performances stabilized. At present, Blackpool is vying for a place in the top six of League One. Under Neil Critchley's guidance, the team has amassed 56 points in 36 matches. The gap between Blackpool and sixth-placed Stevenage is a mere four points. It is noteworthy that in recent rounds, Blackpool has displayed a commendable level of play, securing three victories in four matches. Notably, in the previous round, the "Tangerines" secured a 2-0 away victory against Shrewsbury. On their home turf, Neil Critchley's charges exhibit great confidence, having secured 11 victories with only three defeats.
Portsmouth
