Blackpool will start their preparations for the 2023-24 EFL League One campaign with a pre-season friendly against Hibernian on Saturday. Blackpool will enter into the match on the back of a 1-1 win over Morecambe on Wednesday. On the other hand, Hibernian is coming with a defeat against Inter Club d’Escaldes with a scoreline of 2-1. Talking about their league progress this season, Hibernian is still in the Scottish Premiership. The Scottish Premiership is the top-tier league of Scotland. However, Blackpool has been relegated to EFL League One. The EFL League One is the third tier of the English football system.
Talking about injury concerns, there has been no update on any major injuries from both camps. Both sides are expected to field in the full squad. For Blackpool, the 22/23 season has been no less than that of a disaster. The side managed to win only 11 games out of a total of 46. This led them to slip to the 24th position and relegate to the third tier. Interim coach Stephen Dobbie will have an uphill task to take this side up the ladder. On the other hand, the Scottish side will eye to undo the mistakes of last year and win the Premiership this year. It will be interesting to see who has the last laugh on Saturday.
