Although the promotion was successful afterwards, the Seasiders have been bobbing around in the third division since then. For the first time since promotion to League One in 2016/17, there are now realistic chances of promotion to the championship.

Oxford Statistics & Current Form
Oxford United have their backs to the wall and are expected to miss the playoff final at Wembley. After the bitter home defeat in the first leg, the Yellows need a small miracle in the second leg on Bloomfield Road to be able to dream of promotion. After all, Oxford must score at least three goals at the defensive Blackpool FC.
Free soccer predictions
Against the defensive bulwark of the Seasiders, the otherwise strong offensive - the third strongest attack division in the league, mind you - bit its teeth. Only one of eleven shot attempts went on the goal of the semi-final opponent. All in all, it was a comparatively weak performance of the offensive that ultimately received the receipt for it.
Free soccer picks
Because Oxford United scored a total of 77 goals in 46 games in the regular season, we by no means rule out a reaction of defiance on Friday evening. Nevertheless, three goals against the strong defense of the semi-final opponent will be difficult to achieve.
