The League One play-off final will see Blackpool and Lincoln compete for a hard-earned place in the Championship at Wembley this weekend.

Former Liverpool coach Neil Critchley has revolutionised the Seasiders in 2020/21, turning them from a making-up-the-numbers side in mid-table to bonafide promotion candidates.

Blackpool was the strong team in the latter stages of the season, leaping up to third in the table following a terrific final flourish.

Lincoln limped into the play-offs in relatively poor form but dug deep to topple Sunderland in the semi-finals with a gutsy first-leg win to set them on their way.

The Imps are aiming for a return to the second tier for the first time since 1961 and will be determined to make the most of their shot at the Home of Football.

Our prediction: Blackpool v Lincoln

Blackpool kept their hot form burning into the play-off semi-finals as they defeated Oxford 3-0 in the first leg and drew 3-3 in an entertaining second leg.

Star loanee Elliot Embleton will be eligible to feature against Lincoln in the final after they defeated his parent club Sunderland, and that's a big boost for Blackpool.

The Seasiders conceded the fewest goals of any team in League One this season – just 37 in 46 games – and will prove a tough nut to crack, while also posing a threat to Lincoln.

Our prediction: Blackpool 2-0 Lincoln (17/2 at bet365)
