Jeff Stelling predicts Blackpool win v West Brom, Sky Sports pundit Neil Mellor disagrees
Jeff Stelling has backed West Brom to crash to another Championship defeat against Blackpool on Good Friday.
The Sky Sports host has predicted it will finish 1-0 to the Tangerines with the Baggies’ inconsistencies continuing.
Sky Sports pundit Neil Mellor has completely disagreed with that though and believes Steve Bruce’s men will come out on top.
Sharing his predictions for Sky Sports’ Super 6, Stelling backed the away side to leave The Hawthorns smiling.
Mellor went the complete opposite, and even backed another rare clean-sheet and a 2-0 result to kick off the Easter weekend.
Embarrassing.
This is how low we have come over the past couple of years.
Last season, the Baggies were in the Premier League, with Blackpool sitting in League One, yet here we are.
Not only are we entertaining each other, respected figures such as Stelling even think they could come to The Hawthorns and leave with all three points and a clean sheet.
What is happening?
Bruce would surely be fuming should that actually happen, and he needs to win all of his remaining games to be in with a chance of keeping the job.
If these inconsistencies and defeats continue, there would surely be no confidence in Bruce and his backroom team to lead a promotion push next season.
It sounds stupid, but next season starts here with most of the squad playing for their futures at the club – want to be here? Go out and prove it over the next month.
