Blackpool v West Ham United Tips – Hammers to go top once more Visit Blue Square Save For Later Posted by Leigh Copson 20 Feb 2012 Tweet Hammers have sights set on regaining top spot (credit: Ben Hoskins/Getty Images) Related Articles See all nPower Championship newsBarnsley v Birmingham City Tips – Goals likely at Oakwell Share it Pin It West Ham United will look to regain top spot in the Championship when they visit fellow promotion hopefuls Blackpool on Tuesday night.The Hammers were forced to look on as Southampton regained top spot in England’s second tier this past weekend, going two points clear. However, West Ham (Championship Winner 6/5 @ Boylesports, To Be Promoted 2/7 @ bet365) have now played two games less than Saints and will have every confidence of returning to the summit in the near future, with this game-in-hand their first opportunity (Match Odds – Blackpool 7/5, Draw 12/5, West Ham 85/40 @ BetVictor).However, Blackpool will be no pushover as they too seek an immediate return to the Premier League (To Be Promoted 7/2 @ SkyBet). Ian Holloway’s men have been solid at home this season, taking 31 points from 15 games to average just over two points from each of their outings at Bloomfield Road, and that shows the Hammers will have to be on top of their game to leave with points. A seven-game unbeaten run has put them in the play-off places and they will be keen to continue that sequence here.There is never a shortage of goals when Blackpool take to the field, and rather than having one dominant goalscorer they have share them about this season with Gary Taylor-Fletcher (23/10 anytime goalscorer @ Paddy Power) and Matt Phillips (7/4 anytime goalscorer @ Betfred) combining for 19 Championship goals. Alternately, their desire to attack has often left them exposed at the back and the likes of Carlton Cole (21/10 anytime goalscorer @ Paddy Power) and Mark Noble (5/1 anytime goalscorer @ Paddy Power) will be looking to capitalise.West Ham hammered their hosts 4-0 when these two teams met at Upton Park earlier this season, and while it is unlikely that we will see a repeat of that scoreline, there is the potential for goals at Bloomfield Road (Over 3.5 Goals – 11/5 @ BetVictor). And it is expected that West Ham will score the most.Recommended Bet:Both Teams To Score – Yes 4/5 @ Blue Square Read our Blue Square review Get your £25 free bet from Blue Square now Like Like Post to wall 312 Reads All Football News Recent Football Articles Championship 2011-12 Play Off Final betting tips - West Ham United v Blackpool preview19 May 2012West Ham United are strong favourites to beat Blackpool in the Championship play off final on Satur Championship Play Off Final Best Odds19 May 2012The best odds available on the nPower Championship play off final between West Ham United and Black Blackpool FC team to play West Ham United in Championship play off final18 May 2012Blackpool manager Ian Holloway will stick to his principles and field an attacking team against Wes West Ham United team to play Blackpool in Championship play off final18 May 2012Sam Allardyce will choose an experienced team to face Blackpool in the Championship play off final Championship Play-off Final Tips – Hammers set for top-flight return18 May 2012Blackpool and West Ham United will arrive at Wembley Stadium on Saturday knowing the winner will se Championship Play-Off Final Betting Tips – West Ham To Be Promoted18 May 2012West Ham United take on Blackpool in Saturday’s Championship Play-off Final, and everything points More Stories Recent Articles WTA Strasbourg Final live - Francesca Schiavone and Alize Cornet25 May 2012Francesca Schiavone and Alize Cornet are scheduled to meet on Saturday for an eagerly anticipated Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Guide - Spain25 May 2012Spain have the best draw and a powerful performer but they face an uphill struggle to win Eurovisio Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Guide - Germany25 May 2012Germany's entry is one of the most professional of Eurovision 2012 but it Roman Lob's song Standing Irish 2000 Guineas Betting Tips - Who'll Win the Irish 2000 Guineas?25 May 2012Trainer Aidan O'Brien is responsible for four of the 11 colts that will go to post for Saturday's I £25 no deposit at William Hill Casino - exclusive25 May 2012This weekend you can play no deposit casino at William Hill.
