Peterborough may fancy their chances of a rare away win as they take on Blackpool at Bloomfield Road (December 18, 3pm).

In one of the few games to survive the raft of Covid cancellations, Posh travel to face a Blackpool side who have now won in any of their last seven and haven’t scored in their last four over.

It represents a great chance to take something for only the second away match this season.

He’s ok and we go again. Posh have started on the front foot. Nothing to not so far though.

Dembele caught from behind as he jumped for the ball. Physio on.

Posh make it out of the half, that’s ok

Hits the first man, Knight breaks, loses out but Dembele throws himself at the defender to stop Blackpool breaking and exploiting the space.

Thompson and Anderson getting involved. Was a clear foul but Anderson took exception. Fre0kick on the left, 30 yards out.

Bowler vs Tomlinson the key match-up, the left back did well there to stop his man going past, he’ll need more of that. The forward has been getting the better so far.

Bit of a spell on the ball for Posh but there’s not a lot of space out there but every time a Posh body gets on the ball, there is someone on him smothering. In contrast, Blackpool are pinging the ball around nicely.

Blackpool looking the more dynamic with their passing and moving it well. Tomlinson tires a ball in behind though, looked a good one for Taylor but he’s shoulder barged out of the way. Looked a fair challenge.

Posh struggling to keep hold of the ball. Blackpool playing much the better now.
