Blackpool will be aiming to keep their faint survival dreams alive on Friday night when they welcome playoff contenders Millwall to Bloomfield Road in the Championship. The Seasiders earned three valuable points on the road last time out, while Millwall suffered defeat during their trip to relegation-threatened Wigan Athletic.
Having not won a Championship away match since October, Blackpool fans travelled to St Andrew’s on Saturday in hope more than expectation of a result which would keep their survival scrap alive, and their side finally delivered on the road.
A mix-up at the back between Birmingham City’s Neil Etheridge and Kevin Long allowed Ian Poveda to score into an empty net with just 15 minutes of the contest to go – the Leeds United loanee could barely believe his luck.
Stephen Dobbie’s men held on in the Second City to record only their fourth away win of a difficult campaign – one in which a relegation to League One still looks likely.

Blackpool vs Millwall Prediction
Blackpool have won two of their last three games after winning just one of their previous nine. They have, however, lost three of their last four home games and could struggle here.
Millwall, meanwhile, are on a run of back-to-back defeats and have won just one of their last seven league games. They have had their struggles on the road this season and might have to settle for a point.

Blackpool vs Millwall Team News
Blackpool are down to the bare bones in terms of squad depth, and Dobbie will be hoping Jordan Thorniley is fit to feature on Friday after being forced off at St Andrew’s due to a groin issue.
Goalscorer Poveda also hobbled off with a recurrence of a hamstring injury – the 23-year-old is unlikely to play against Millwall in this one.
Keshi Anderson and Jerry Yates both missed the trip to Birmingham and it is unclear whether either will be available on Friday, although considering their importance to the hosts, they may be rushed back into action.
